Ingredients

For the Roast
  • 4 pound top round roast
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Rosemary chopped
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Gravy
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • ½ cup white wine I used Pinot Grigio
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions

To Make the Roast
    Cup of Yum
  1. Take your roast out of the oven 1 ½ hrs before roasting to allow it to come to room temperature. This will help ensure even cooking.
  2. Pat the roast dry using paper towels, then using kitchen twine, wrap your roast, which will help it retain its shape while roasting.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  4. Add the olive oil, butter, rosemary, minced garlic, salt and ground black pepper to a mixing bowl. Mix to combine, then rub all over the roast.
  5. Insert a meat thermometer into one end and set the roast on a baking rack over a skillet.
  6. Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 275°F and continue roasting for about an hour or until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F.
  7. Remove from the oven and set the roast onto a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil. Remove the rack from the skillet and heat it to medium on your stove top.
To Make the Gravy
  1. Add in the garlic and sauté for 15 seconds, then pour the wine in to deglaze the pan, scraping up those brown bits of flavor on the bottom.
  2. Pour in the beef broth and salt, then whisk in the xanthan gum. Simmer on medium until thickened to your liking. If you like a thicker gravy you can add another ¼ teaspoon of the xanthan gum. Once ready, whisk in the butter and cook for another 1-2 minutes until silky and glossy.
  3. Slice up against the grain into thin slices and serve with some gravy over the top.
