Ina Garten Balsamic Roasted Beef Recipe
The Ina Garten Balsamic Roasted Beef Recipe is rich, juicy and full of bold flavor. The beef becomes tender and flavorful after roasting.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef roast top sirloin or tenderloin
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a roasting pan. Pat the beef dry with paper towels before seasoning.
Prepare the Marinade
- In a bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper and rosemary. Whisk until smooth and blended.
Season the Beef
- Place the beef in the roasting pan. Pour the marinade over it. Rub gently to coat all sides evenly.
Let It Rest
- Let the beef sit with marinade for 15 minutes. This helps the flavors soak into the meat.
Roast the Beef
- Place the roasting pan in the oven. Roast for about 1 hour or until desired doneness. Baste once during cooking.
Check Temperature
- Use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, internal temperature should be 135°F. Adjust cooking time if needed.
Rest Before Slicing
- Remove beef from oven. Cover loosely with foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This keeps it juicy.
Slice and Serve
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Spoon extra balsamic juices over slices before serving.
Notes
- Use good quality balsamic vinegar.
- Do not skip resting time.
- Slice against the grain for tenderness.
- Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Let beef come to room temperature before roasting.
