Ingredients

Lemon Thyme Paste

  • 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. freshly grated lemon peel

  • 2 tsp. coarse grind black pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine paste ingredients; press evenly onto beef roast.

Roast in 350°F oven 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 hours for medium rare; 2-3/4 to 3 hours for medium doneness.

Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F.) Carve roast into slices.

This is a great paste for steak also. I rub a rib eye steak with the paste then put in hot iron skillet with a Tbsp. of butter and brown well on both sides. Remove steak when done to your likeness, add a little Worcestershire Sauce and beef broth to make a really good sauce to go over the steak or use to dip steak in.

This was wonderful! I had to use 1 Tbsp of ground thyme because the packet of fresh I purchased wasn't enough for the 3 Tbsp the recipe called for.. However I think I would do the same again becuse it helped make the paste... Also I keep a jar of minced garlic in the fridge and I added a bit of the juice from that.

When a friend read the recipe she said she wouldn't have know how to apply the paste--- I just took a small Silicone Batter Spatula and kind of painted it on the meat...
