Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef roast
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, crushed black peppercorns, and bay leaves to create a marinade.
- Place the beef roast in the marinade, ensuring it is completely covered. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for deeper flavor penetration.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for basting.
- Season the roast with additional salt to taste.
- Place the roast in a roasting pan with a rack, fat side up, to allow even heat circulation.
- Cover the roasting pan loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Roast the beef in the preheated oven, basting every 30 minutes with the reserved marinade.
- Cook until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice against the grain and serve hot with the remaining pan juices.
Tips
- • For the most tender and flavorful roast, marinate the beef overnight to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat. • Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness - medium-rare is typically the sweet spot for maximum juiciness. • Let the roast rest after cooking - this crucial step allows the meat's juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is incredibly succulent. • If possible, choose a beef roast with good marbling, as this will enhance the overall flavor and tenderness of the dish. • Don't rush the cooking process - low and slow is the key to achieving a perfectly cooked roast that melts in your mouth. • Save the pan juices! They make an incredible gravy or sauce to serve alongside the roasted beef.
