Garlic Crusted Roast Beef

The trick to achieving that ideal, juicy medium-rare roast beef ... invest in a good digital meat thermometer!

Ingredients:

1  1/4 lb European inside round roast beef

savory, thyme and lemon pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive

1-2 tbsps fresh minced garlic

Sprinkle the beef with savory, thyme and lemon pepper to your taste. I used a good 1  1/2 - 2 tsps of savory because I love it! Mix the olive oil and garlic together and rub into the meat. 

Leave on the kitchen counter 20-30 minutes.

Roast at 450 F for 10 minutes (you can throw in some quartered onions if you like).

Reduce heat to 300 F (don't forget this step or you'll have a little lump of charcoal where your roast used to be!) and return to the oven for 35-40 minutes or until internal temperature on your meat thermometer reaches 135 F 

Rest meat on counter 10 minutes before slicing. It will continue to cook a bit.

It's the perfect medium-rare - medium...nice and pink but not runny!

Serves 2-3
