  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 beef crown roast (about 10-12 pounds)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup red wine (optional, for braising)
  • Vegetables for roasting (carrots, potatoes, onions)

Instructions

  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.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, consider slow cooking the crown roast in a crock-pot with seasonings for 6-8 hours.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
  • You can prepare the roast a day in advance by seasoning and refrigerating it until ready to cook.
