Simple Cold Oven Roast Beef

 

This wonderful recipe comes from my dearest friend Regina. A really easy way to prepare roast beef that comes out so juicy and tender. A real family and crowd pleaser. 

Regina happens to be a fabulous cook and baker. If you have been on this blog before you know there are so many delectable recipes that Regina has shared over the past few years. I think my favorite recipe she makes happens to be a dessert for her Classic Rainbow Cookies 

When I tell you these are the most delicious cookie, it’s an understatement. And, she somehow made this a much more simpler recipe than the original way of making these. A must to check the recipe out to save for anytime you want to bake a batch of these beauties. 

 

Now, on to this delicious recipe. Somehow, Regina came up with a recipe that only has a handful of ingredients yet, comes out so full of flavor. She uses a different kind of method to roast this that is a great shortcut especially on a busy, hectic day. This is the only way I make a roast since Regina told me about her method. Now, I can easily make this for a weeknight meal. The meat comes out so tender and juicy. Just the way a roast beef should be. 

 

As you can see in the photos, the roast is made with grape tomatoes and garlic. When all of this roasts together, you will absolutely love the taste combinations. Those three ingredients complement each other so well, it’s the best roast beef ever!

 

For another delectable recipe using the “cold oven” method, here is Regina’s Cold Oven Pork Roast with Sauerkraut This is melt in your mouth delicious. 

 

This roast beef is a beautiful and delicious meal to serve for when company comes to visit.

 

You can even make a couple of these roasts to serve when you are having a larger crowd. 

 

I have brought this to a potluck dinner one time. I made three roasts. This was the most popular dish on the table! It was eaten up before any other dish. 

 

Since this is Regina’s recipe, here is a message from her – This delicious roast beef was prepared ahead of time and placed in a cold oven to cook.  I have become a fan of this method to satisfy my love of slow cooked roasts and a hectic day at work.  My daughter is old enough to operate the oven, but still a bit inexperienced to place items in the hot oven.  So I prep the meal the night before, then call her as my work day is about to end so she can get dinner started. But, If you choose not to prepare ahead of time, simply preheat the oven and lessen the amount of cook time.
