This Poor Man’s Prime Rib is a cost-effective alternative to traditional prime rib, made with a tender and flavorful chuck roast ❤️
🛒 Ingredients:
- 🥩 3-4 lb chuck roast
- 🧄 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 🧈 2 tbsp olive oil
- 🌿 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
- 🌿 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 🧂 2 tsp kosher salt
- 🌶️ 1 tsp black pepper
- 🥄 1 tsp onion powder
- 🥣 1 cup beef broth
🔥 Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). A lower temperature ensures a tender, evenly cooked roast.
2️⃣ Season the Roast:
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Rub this mixture all over the chuck roast.
3️⃣ Sear the Roast:
- Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. This step locks in the flavor.
4️⃣ Prepare for Roasting:
- Place the seared roast on a roasting rack in a baking dish or a Dutch oven. Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the dish to keep the roast moist.
5️⃣ Roast Low and Slow:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil or the lid (if using a Dutch oven) and roast in the oven for 2.5-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
6️⃣ Rest the Roast:
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, covered loosely with foil, for 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy roast.
7️⃣ Serve:
- Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. 🍴
