Description
Tender and juicy roast beef cooked to perfection and glazed with a sweet and tangy cranberry balsamic sauce. This easy-to-make main dish is perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
– 3-4 lb beef roast (such as chuck or rump)
– 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
– 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. 2. Season the beef roast with salt and pepper.
3. 3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. 4. In a small bowl, combine the cranberries, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and thyme.
5. 5. Pour the cranberry balsamic mixture over the roast.
6. 6. Cover the pan and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
7. 7. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
– For a thicker glaze, you can remove the roast from the oven and transfer the pan to the stovetop. Simmer the cranberry balsamic sauce for 5-10 minutes until it thickens.
– Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated as desired.
