Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 (3 pound) beef eye of round roast

  • aluminum foil

  • ½ cup dry red wine (merlot or cabernet sauvignon)

  • ½ cup beef broth

  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

Directions

  1. Mix garlic, oil, salt, pepper, and thyme into a paste; rub all over beef roast. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. Forty minutes into the hour, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).

  2. Place two sheets of aluminum foil large enough to cover the beef roast on a baking sheet. Place beef roast on the foil sheets.

  4. Remove from the oven; fold up the foil so it wraps the roast then return it to the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C) and roast for one hour.

  5. After an hour, check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 120-125 degrees F will yield a rare center, 130-140 degrees F will yield a medium-rare center, and 140-150 degrees F will yield a medium center.

  6. Remove roast and set it on a cutting board to rest.

  7. Transfer any drippings from roast into a saucepan; stir in red wine and beef broth and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/4. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in cubes of butter, one at a time, until incorporated into sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
