Beef Chuck Eye Roast with Sumac-Rosemary Rub
- 1/4 cup dried ground sumac (see Note)
- 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- One 3-pound chuck eye roast
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- Salt
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- In a small bowl, combine the sumac, rosemary and pepper.
- Drizzle the roast generously with olive oil and season with salt.
- Rub the garlic and the spice mixture all over the roast and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Using butchers twine, tie the roast at 1-inch intervals to give it a uniform shape.
- In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat the vegetable oil.
- Add the roast and cook over moderate heat until lightly browned all over, about 12 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the upper third of the oven and roast the meat for about 1 hour, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 130.
- Transfer the roast to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Discard the twine.
- Using a thin, sharp knife, thinly slice the beef across the grain and serve.
