Roast Inside Round

Ingredients

  • 1 inside round roast

RUB

  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp juniper berries
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp dried green peppercorns
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle spiced black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons Mediterranean salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons Tuscan herb rub
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 250°F.
  • Whiz the peppercorns, juniper berries, and mustard seeds in a spice grinder and add to the rest of the rub ingredients. Reserve about a quarter of the rub for the gravy.
  • Stab the roast (not too deeply) and thoroughly rub the above mix into the roast, covering entirely.
  • Truss the roast to be as round as possible.
  • Place a rack in the middle of a cookie sheet and place the roast on the rack. You want a rack that will hold the roast above the edges of the cookie sheet.
  • Place the probe end of the thermometer into the middle of the roast and set for 130-134°F, depending on how done you want the roast.,
  • Cooking time will be APPROXIMATELY 30 minutes per inch (of diameter). So a 4 inch around roast, will take around 2 hours.
  • When the roast reaches the desired internal temperature, remove from the oven for a minute, and turn on the broiler to high. Once ready, pop the roast in and broil for 5 minutes, flip over and broil for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove the roast from the oven, place on cutting board, cut off the trussing, and slice. No need to rest!

GRAVY

  • To make the gravy, deglaze the roasting pan with add about 1 cup of the water you've cooked your potatoes in (or stock). Then pour into a saucepot. Add 2-3 cups of potato or stock.
  • Add some salt and pepper to taste, the reserved rub, some dried oregano, and a beef stock packet if desired.
  • Thicken with a flour slurry and serve.
