Description

Roast Beef with Red Wine Gravy is a classic, hearty dish featuring herb-crusted, oven-roasted beef served with a rich, savory red wine gravy made from pan drippings. Perfect for holiday feasts or special Sunday dinners.


Ingredients

1 (3–4 lb) beef roast (top round, eye of round, or ribeye)

2 tbsp olive oil

34 garlic cloves, minced or whole

2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped

2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 large onion, sliced

2 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks (optional)

1 cup dry red wine (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot)

1 1/2 cups beef broth

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp all-purpose flour


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat beef dry and rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  2. Sear the roast on all sides in a hot skillet or roasting pan (2–3 minutes per side).
  3. Place sliced onions and carrots (if using) in the bottom of the pan and set the roast on top.
  4. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast and transfer to the oven.
  5. Roast until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, then remove and let rest for 15 minutes under foil.
  6. Place the pan on the stovetop, add a splash of wine, and deglaze by scraping up brown bits.
  7. Add butter and flour to form a roux, then slowly whisk in remaining wine and beef broth.
  8. Simmer until thickened, strain if desired, and season to taste.
  9. Slice roast against the grain and serve with warm gravy.

Notes

Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or Dijon to the gravy for extra flavor.

Stir in sautéed mushrooms for a mushroom red wine gravy.

Use a chuck roast and slow cook for a different texture and flavor profile.

Bone-in rib roast makes a dramatic holiday presentation.

Let the beef rest before slicing to retain juices.
