Notes

  • For the Best Sear: Make sure the roast is dry before seasoning and searing to achieve a beautiful crust.
  • Slow Cooking Alternative: Cook on low in a slow cooker for 8 hours for extra tenderness.
  • Thicker Gravy: Remove the roast after cooking and reduce the liquid on the stovetop or add a cornstarch slurry.
  • Herb Variations: Swap rosemary and thyme for bay leaves or oregano for a different flavor.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: This roast tastes even better the next day, as the flavors meld overnight in the fridge.
