What Herbs Go Well With Roast Beef?
In addition to the basic dry rub ingredients listed above, a variety of herbs can be added to create a unique flavor profile. Here are some herbs that go well with roast beef:
Rosemary: The traditional herb rosemary goes well with meat. Its piney flavor and scent go well with the beef’s richness.
Thyme: Beef goes well with the earthy, somewhat sweet flavor of thyme. It’s a great herb to use in a dry rub.
Sage: Sage has a strong, savory flavor that pairs well with beef. It’s a great herb to use in a holiday roast beef recipe.
Oregano: Oregano has a slightly bitter and pungent flavor that pairs well with beef. It’s a common ingredient in Mediterranean-style dry rubs.
Bay leaves: Bay leaves have a subtle, herbal flavor that can add depth to a dry rub. Just make sure to remove them before cooking.
Recipe With Oregano
Season the beef with sea salt and refrigerate for a few hours up to 24 hours. In a separate bowl, add garlic paste, pepper, oregano, crushed red pepper, and basil and mix well. Put the seasoning on the roasted beef and rub thoroughly. Roasted meat should be added to hot, medium-hot olive oil in a big skillet. Sear on all sides until it’s browned, transfer it to a baking sheet, and put it in the oven for 1 hour 20 minutes till it reaches 115 degrees. Do not open the oven after turning it off. When the internal temperature of the roast hits 130 degrees, give it another 30 minutes in the oven. After removing it from the oven, slice it after 15 minutes.
Recipe With Rosemary
Preheat the oven to 450◦f and prep the roast by pat drying with towels. Use a sharp knife and pierce the beef several times to insert the garlic in each hole. Separately combine salt, thyme, olive oil, freshly chopped rosemary, and pepper in a bowl, mix, and rub it on the beef. Put the roast on the top rack of the oven in a roasting pan, cook for 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 325◦f, and continue cooking. When you take it out, the internal temperature should be 130◦f-150◦f. Leave it out of the oven for 20 minutes before slicing it.
