Description
A delicious and tender beef roast infused with a sweet and tangy cranberry balsamic glaze that creates a memorable family meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Beef Roast (chuck or sirloin)
- 2 cups Fresh Cranberries (or frozen)
- 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- Fresh Herbs (rosemary and thyme)
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and season the beef with salt and pepper. Sear the beef on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and herbs. Simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens and cranberries break down.
- Place the seared beef in a roasting pan and pour the cranberry balsamic glaze over it, brushing to coat evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 2-3 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Allow the roast to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with the glaze drizzled on top and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to let the roast rest before slicing to keep it juicy. Pair with sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
