Ingredients

Scale

Roast Beef and Herbs

  • 3 to 4 pounds top sirloin or ribeye roast beef
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 8 to 10 strips smoked turkey bacon

Glaze

  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Pat the beef roast dry. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Press the chopped fresh rosemary and thyme onto the surface of the beef, creating an aromatic crust. Wrap the strips of smoked turkey bacon around the roast to add a subtle smoky flavor during cooking.
  2. Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, shallots, brown sugar or maple syrup, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the natural gelling agent gradually and stir constantly as the glaze thickens. Continue simmering until the glaze becomes glossy and coats the back of a spoon beautifully.
  3. Roast the Beef: Place the prepared beef on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush a generous layer of balsamic glaze over the surface. Roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 20 minutes per pound, occasionally basting with additional glaze to build a sticky, caramelized crust. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness, aiming for medium-rare to medium.
  4. Rest and Serve: Remove the roast from the oven once it reaches the desired temperature. Allow the beef to rest for at least 15 minutes to let juices redistribute evenly. Carve thinly against the grain and serve drizzled with remaining balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • Choose a marbled cut such as ribeye for maximum moisture and flavor.
  • Do not skip resting the beef after roasting to retain juices.
  • Layering the glaze multiple times during cooking enhances the crust’s flavor and texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness without guesswork.
  • Allow the roast to come to room temperature before cooking for even roasting.
