Savory Marinated Roast Recipe
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs (1.5-2 kg) roast (beef, pork, or lamb)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 onion, sliced (for roasting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt.
- Marinate the Roast:
- Place the roast in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare for Roasting:
- Remove the roast from the marinade (reserve the marinade for basting) and place it in a roasting pan.
- Scatter the sliced onions around the roast for added flavor.
- Roast the Meat:
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound (45 minutes per kg) for medium doneness. For example, a 3-pound roast will take about 1 hour.
- Baste the roast with the reserved marinade every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Check for Doneness:
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
- Beef: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Pork: 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Lamb: 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature:
- Serve:
- Slice the roast against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite sides.
