Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 pounds beef roast (such as chuck roast or sirloin tip)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, and black pepper to create the honey glaze.
- Place the seasoned beef roast in a roasting pan.
- Pour the honey glaze evenly over the beef roast, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cover the roasting pan loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness. For a more tender honey baked beef, cook longer.
- Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize.
- Let the honey baked beef rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the savory honey beef and serve with the accumulated pan juices.
Notes
- For a slow cooker honey beef option, place the roast in the slow cooker and pour the glaze over it. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- You can add vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or onions to the roasting pan during the last hour of cooking for a complete meal.
- Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to your preference for sweetness and saltiness.
- Ensure your oven is calibrated for accurate cooking times for this savory beef dish with honey.
