Simple Pub Roast

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale

6 lb pub roast

Olive oil

Kosher salt

Black pepper

Garlic powder (or fresh garlic)

Optional: rosemary or thyme

Instructions

1. Prep

  • IMPORTANT: Take the roast out of the fridge 45–60 minutes before cooking.
  • Pat dry.
  • Rub all over with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic (herbs optional).

2. Roast

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan (fat side up if there is one).
  • Roast at 450°F for 20 minutes to build flavor.
  • Reduce oven to 325°F and continue roasting.

3. Cook Time & Temperature

  • Roast until internal temp hits:
    • 130–135°F for medium-rare
    • 140°F for medium

4. Rest (Do Not Skip)

  • Remove from oven.
  • Tent loosely with foil.
  • Rest 20–30 minutes before slicing. The roast will finish cooking while it rests.

5. Slice & Serve

  • Slice thin, against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Great with gravy, au jus, or just the pan juices.

Notes

A meat thermometer – especially a wireless one that can safely remain in the oven – is your roasting secret weapon. Remember: temperature is more important than time.
