Garlic Roast Beef


Roast beef is such a treat, and it's amazingly simple to make.  I love mine on the rare side, so feel free to cook it to a higher internal temperature if you want it cooked more thoroughly.  Tonight I served it over Beef Risotto and green beans with bacon.  

Ingredients

2-3 lbs top round roast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp seasoning salt or other steak seasoning
2-3 cloves garlic, minced(I used roasted garlic)

Directions
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.  While the oven is heating, place your roast in your roasting pan and let it rest about 10-20 minutes.  Combine olive oil, seasoning salt, and garlic in a bowl and mix together.   Rub the mixture over all of the meat, covering all sides well, then place back in the roasting pan fat side up.  
Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, then reduce heat to 275 degrees, leaving the roast in the oven.  Bake for one hour, then take the internal temperature.  I took mine out when it reached 120 degrees, then let it rest for 15 minutes with foil wrapped around it to keep in the heat.  Slice, and enjoy.
