Irish Roast Beef with Guinness Au Jus

Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 pounds beef roast (preferably ribeye or sirloin)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup Guinness beer
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the gravy)

Instructions

Follow these steps to create a mouthwatering Irish Roast Beef with Guinness Au Jus:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Season the beef roast generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and Guinness, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate all those delicious brown bits.
  6. Add the Worcestershire sauce and chopped thyme, mixing well.
  7. Return the roast to the pan, spooning some of the liquid over the top.
  8. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  9. Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  10. If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water and stir it into the pan juices over medium heat until it thickens.
  11. Slice the beef and serve it with the Guinness au jus drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

This Irish Roast Beef dish is perfect for a cozy dinner or a festive celebration. Enjoy the rich flavors and impressive presentation with family and friends!
