    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped rosemary, choppedthyme, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix welluntil all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the bottom round roastgenerously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil overmedium-high heat. Place the seasoned roast in the skillet and sear it on allsides until it develops a nice brown crust, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Once the roast is seared, remove it from the skillet and place it on acutting board. Spread the prepared herb butter evenly over the entire surfaceof the roast.
  5. Return the herb-buttered roast to the skillet or roasting pan. Place itin the preheated oven and roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internaltemperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for aninternal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
  6. Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Letit rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute andensures a juicy, tender roast. After resting, slice the bottom round roast intothin slices.
  7. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and drizzle any remaining herbbutter from the skillet over the top. Garnish with additional fresh herbs ifdesired.
