Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Seasonings

  • 1 (3-4 lb) beef roast (top sirloin or rump)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

Glaze Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup grape juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to ensure a perfect sear. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and freshly chopped rosemary and thyme. Let it rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef roast and sear each side until a rich golden-brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Balsamic Glaze: In the same pan, add minced garlic and chopped smoked turkey bacon. Sauté until fragrant and the bacon begins to crisp. Pour in balsamic vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and grape juice (natural). Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the natural gelling agent until the glaze is glossy and syrupy.
  4. Roast the Beef with Glaze: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the seared beef in the oven-safe pan. Spoon some glaze over the top. Roast for 25-30 minutes for medium-rare, brushing additional glaze every 10 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness 135°F for medium-rare or longer as preferred.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Drizzle any remaining glaze on top before slicing thinly against the grain for tender servings.

Notes

  • Bring the beef roast to room temperature before cooking for even cooking and juicier results.
  • Gradually mix the natural gelling agent into the warm glaze to avoid clumping and keep the texture smooth.
  • Allowing the roast to rest after cooking seals in juices and enhances tenderness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and ensure perfect doneness.
  • Brush the beef multiple times with the balsamic glaze for richer, layered flavor.
