How to make Roast Beef With Caramelised Onion Gravy:
Prepare the Roast:Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Rub the beef roast with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary.
Sear the Beef:In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Roast the Beef:Place the seared roast in a roasting pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Caramelize the Onions:While the beef is roasting, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.
Make the Gravy:Once the onions are caramelized, add the flour (if using) and stir for a minute. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing it to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes until thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Rest and Slice:Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Serve:Slice the roast beef and serve with caramelized onion gravy drizzled over the top. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or crusty bread!
Recipe Notes :
Beef Cut: Choose a roast cut that suits your preference—chuck for rich flavor, ribeye for marbling, or sirloin for leaner taste.
Resting: Let the roast rest 15-20 minutes after cooking so juices redistribute and slicing stays juicier.
Onion Gravy Make-Ahead: Prepare the caramelised onions in advance; reheat and finish the gravy before serving to save time.
Gravy Thickness: To thicken the gravy, use flour or make a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) added while simmering.
Leftovers & Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; flavors often deepen when reheated.
