This is a combination of two great recipes! I found these recipes on a cooking site. One recipe was for the crust (by Magpieno6) and one was for the cooking method (by Wynnebaer) of the roast beef! Both worked perfectly together! I added my photo!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds roast beef-no larger or cook time will be off
  • - salt & pepper to season the roast
  • NOTE: ANY CUT OF ROAST BEEF WORKS FINE WITH THIS RECIPE.
  • GARLIC CRUST INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup fresh white breadcrumbs-white slice bread works fine
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
  • 4 large cloves of garlic-crushed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

How To Make perfect roast beef with a garlic crust

  • Step 1
    Season the roast beef with salt and pepper.
  • Step 2
    Now make the garlic crust by heating the oil in a frying pan.
  • Step 3
    Add Garlic and saute for 2 minutes, stirring. Then mix in breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and black pepper
  • Step 4
    Allow mixture to cool, then press this mixture onto the seasoned roast beef. This should be enough to cover just the top and sides of the roast.
  • Step 5
    Preheat oven to 500*
  • Step 6
    Bake UNCOVERED for exactly 23 minutes. This cooking time will give you a medium/well roast, as in the picture. If you want it more or less cooked adjust the cooking time. For medium/rare 15 minutes.
  • Step 7
    Shut oven off and DO NOT open door for 1 hour (important)
  • Step 8
    Take roast out and let it rest for 15 minutes, covered.
  • Step 9
    Then just slice and serve.
