3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Crown Roast

Preparing the Roast

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful rub.
3. Carefully loosen the meat from the ribs of the beef crown roast, then rub the mixture evenly over the entire surface.
4. If desired, pour red wine into the bottom of the roasting pan for added moisture and flavor.
5. Arrange the vegetables around the roast in the roasting pan for an aromatic base.
6. Place the roast in the oven and roast for about 2 to 2.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
7. Let the roast rest for 20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to settle.

Optional: Slow Cooking Method

For a fall-off-the-bone tender crown roast, consider slow cooking it in a Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker with your preferred seasonings for 6-8 hours.

4. Storage Tips for Your Crown Roast

If leftovers remain, store the crown roast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its original flavor and texture, reheat in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) covered with foil. For longer storage, consider freezing the leftovers; then, reheat thoroughly before serving again.
