A heartwarming dish perfect for holiday gatherings, featuring juicy roast beef complemented by a rich red wine gravy.

  • Total Time: 110 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • Beef Roast (Ribeye or Sirloin)
  • Red Wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
  • Fresh Garlic
  • Onions
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Fresh Thyme
  • Beef Stock
  • Butter
  • Olive Oil
  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the beef on all sides until browned.
  3. Remove the beef and let it rest. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and minced garlic, cooking until golden.
  4. Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping the bottom to release the fond. Let it reduce for a few minutes.
  5. Stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in beef stock. Simmer until thickened.
  6. Return the beef to the roasting pan, pour the gravy over it, cover loosely with foil, and roast until the desired doneness is reached.
  7. Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes, then carve and serve with gravy.

Notes

Allow the beef to rest for proper juiciness and flavor. Use fresh herbs for the best taste.
