Ingredients

Scale
- 1 1/2 – 2 pounds top round or bottom round roast
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place roast on a non-stick baking pan.
- Rub all sides of the roast with canola oil.
- Season all sides of the roast with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
- Place roast in the oven for about 40 minutes.
- Allow the roast to rest for at least 10 minutes. If you’re using the roast beef for sandwiches and you have more time to spare, I recommend allowing the roast to completely cool. It’s much easier to slice when it’s cold.
- Check the internal temperature in the middle and on both sides of the roast to ensure even cooking (reference cooking temps above). Depending on the size of the roast, cooking times will vary greatly. For a more tender roast, it’s best to not cook it any higher than medium rare.
- First, slice the roast in half with the grain to reduce the size then slice both halves against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Enjoy!
