Let me first start this recipe post by sharing its resounding success.

And, when I say “success, ” I mean “Dustin loved it.” And, when I say, “Dustin loved it, ” I mean he has not stopped talking about it.

This makes me happy. Oh so happy. And when I say, “happy, ” I mean “I love it.”

Author: A Sweet Pea Chef

Recipe type: Easy

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2½ lbs. boneless rump roast (round roast or sirloin tip will work)
• 1-2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2-3 garlic cloves, sliced
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup beef stock
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• 1 tsp. dried tarragon
• 1 tsp. dried rosemary

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Make several (8-10) small incisions (about ¼ to ½ inch deep) around the meat and then insert a slice of garlic into each. Place the roast, fat side up, on a rack over a roasting pan. Pour water and beef broth into the pan (not over the roast) to very lightly cover the bottom of the roasting pan.
3. Rub the roast with olive oil until coated. Sprinkle salt, pepper and herbs all over the roast and spread to evenly coat with your hands.
4. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes (or until temperature in the deepest part of the roast registers 125 degrees). Do not open the oven during these 45 minutes to baste or check on the roast.
