Roast Beef Cheat
If you love your Roast Beef, but don't have the time to make it, try this kitchen hack for Roast Beef Cheat!
Ingredients
- ½ bunch of fresh Rosemary Thyme & Sage, leaves removed & chopped or 2 Tbsp each dried
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 2 - 3 Tbsp Olive Oil or more if needed
- 2-3 lbs boneless Bottom Round Beef Roast sliced in half lengthwise or London Broil that is about 2 - 3 inches thick and bring to room temperature about an hour before cooking. (Allow about 1/2 lb per person)
Instructions
- Heat a large pan on high, add Olive Oil.
- Mix the chopped Herbs with the Salt & Pepper, then spread out on a chopping board.
- Roll the meat in the mixed Herbs, coating all sides.
- Place Meat in hot pan, and sear each side including the ends, turning every few minutes. Continue to turn & sear for about 20 minutes or more time if you prefer your meat to be cooked well and less pink.
- Remove from heat, cover with foil and allow to rest for about 10 minutes, then thinly slice & serve.
Notes
The time will vary depending on how hot your stove top will get and the type of pan you use. It's best to use a heavy bottom braiser, deep pan such as my favorite 5 quart braiser from Le Crueset or a cast iron deep skillet.
Try to make sure that your meat is no more than about 2 - 3 inches thick. The thicker the meat, the longer it will take to cook.
