Ingredients
- 4 pounds bottom round rump roast
- 6 large cloves garlic ,sliced into thin slivers
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- IMPORTANT: Bring the beef out of the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to allow to come to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cut 2 inch deep slits all over the roast beef. Put a sliver of garlic in each slit, pushing the slivers in (don't worry if they break) as much as possible so they don't come out.Combine the garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small dish. Coat the beef all over in olive oil, then rub all over with the garlic powder mixture.
- Place in a roasting pan, fat side up. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 ½ hours for medium (155 degrees F). If a crispy outer edge is desired, increase the temperature to 375 F during the last half hour of cooking.
- Remove from the pan and allow to rest covered with a tent of aluminum foil for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For rare or medium rare, do not increase temperature for the last half hour. Cook to 135-140 for rare, 140-145 for medium rare.
