Description

This is my grandmother’s way of cooking roast beef. It creates a thick, salty crust on the outside that is a big hit in our family.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Beef Roast, 3-5 Lbs
  • 1 stick Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

Preparation

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, dry the meat and rub the outside of the roast with softened butter. Once the pan is very hot, put the roast in and cook until a deep brown crust forms, about 3-5 minutes. Flip the roast and sear all sides, including ends, if possible. Remove the roast from the pan, but leave the burner on medium-high. Add the beef broth to the pan and stir until combined and hot. Add lemon juice and stir. Turn heat down to medium-low and return the meat to the pan. Cover and cook roast for 3-4 hours (depending on size), checking and adding more broth, if necessary.

This was so easy to make and the meat was so tender. My beef must have been smaller than yours since I coated it and still had quite a bit of butter left over. I just left it to melt in the pan, it made delicious drippings.

Easy easy recipe, I did not have to cook mine as long (just 1 1/2 hours). Such a simple recipe yet it turned out tender and tasty.
