Description
A festive and savory beef roast stuffed with a flavorful mixture of cranberries and walnuts, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lb beef roast
- 1 cup stuffing mix
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pat the beef roast dry and trim excess fat if necessary. Cut a pocket lengthwise through the center of the roast, seasoning the cavity with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, garlic, carrot, and celery until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Combine sautéed vegetables with stuffing mix, beef broth, cranberries, walnuts, thyme, and seasoning in a bowl.
- Stuff the beef roast with the mixture, tie with kitchen twine if desired, and season the outside. Place in a roasting pan and roast for 1.5 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the roast and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with sides like roasted vegetables or salad.
Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer to check doneness. Rest the meat before slicing to keep it juicy.
