This recipe was so easy and it turned out a beautiful medium-medium rare. My Kitchen Bouquet had dried up in the bottle and I failed to brown the roast so the outside appearence wasn't the best, but presentable. I definitely will use the recipe again.

OK, I had read this in several recipes but had no Kitchen Bouquet. Rubbed the whole roast (about 2 1/2 lbs) with olive oil, freshly ground pepper and a light sprinkling of salt, then seared in a cast iron skillet while waiting for the oven to heat to 500°F. I put it in the 500°F oven for 13 mins, then turned the oven off. After 2 hrs I took the roast out of the oven and was totally amazed at my med rare roast -- perfectly cooked, juicy & tender. And it's going to make great roast beef sandwiches!!

Used a different marinade of Dales & Worcestershire & seasonings. Marinated overnight. Easiest & most delicious company roast I ever made. Didn't brown first but think I will next time for better outside appearance.

I am making my second roast with this recipe!! I used Gravy Master instead of Kitchen Bouquet. This time I also use garlic power. Should be yummy!! I recommend this recipe to everyone. Also for those people say they can't COOK. This is for YOU!! CAN NOT MESS THIS UP!!

I rubbed mine with lemon pepper, but did the rest as written, and it was by far, the very best roast I ever made. It was perfect. My husband was a very happy that I finally did it right!!:)

This is sooo good. If you really love beef roasts try this! I did garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, and a fresh fruit tray. Fantastic!

I followed the recipe to a "T" and it was great. First time and it was perfect. Thanks

My oven cooks a little cooler so I heated it to max temp. Waited 30 minutes. Made a rub out of sea salt, black pepper, chili pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne powder. smoked paprika. Oiled up the roast with canola oil and then coated completely with the rub. Slid the 3.5 lb roast in the oven at 500°F for 16 minutes. Turned off the oven and let it sit for 1.5 hours. I will ship meat at $17.25 a pound any where in the US. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

My roast came out rare, very rare. 23 minutes @ 500°F for 4.5 lb roast and then cooked for 90 minutes. Tasted great but our clan likes medium and medium well. Obviously will have to cook longer at 500°F next time for this size roast.

This turned out exactly as the recipe said it would. My roast was 3.5 lbs. and I rounded up the time slightly to 20 minutes. I got a tender juicy perfect medium. If you want to impress without a complicated recipe, this is it!
