2- to 4-pound roast (round or standing rib with ribs removed)
salt and pepper to taste
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 clove garlic, segmented
How to make
Delicious Roast Beef
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and cinnamon over surfaces of roast and place roast in an open pan or large skillet.
Insert peeled garlic segments into slits in roast.
Place in a 500 degree F oven and sear for 20 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Reduce temperature to 300 degrees F and continue roasting until beef is cooked according to taste: allow 16 minutes cooking time per pound for a rare roast, 22 minutes per pound for a medium roast, and 30 minutes per pound for a well done roast.
After temperature has been reduced, vegetables can be added to pan/skillet.
Potatoes, carrots, celery stalks, and onions cut into chunks are a good choice.
Vegetables will be more juicy if pan is covered with foil for continued cooking.
