Instructions

Beef Roast:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Season the beef roast with salt, oregano, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Rub it all over the exterior.
In a large pan, add a few drops of grapeseed oil. Turn the heat up on the pan to medium-high and sear the roast on all sides.
Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan.
In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, thyme, and olive oil.
Pour the mixture over the roast, scattering around the bottom of the pan.
Place roasting pan in the oven and roast uncovered for about 1 hour.
Remove beef roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Don’t slice in until ready to serve.

Red Wine Sauce:

Pour the beef broth and port wine into the pan the meat was seared in.
Bring to a boil, then cook over high heat for 30 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
Whisk in the tomato sauce and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the butter and flour, then add a few pan drippings. Whisk until combined, then add to the tomato mixture.
Simmer until the sauce thickens.
Slice the beef and serve with garlic and tomatoes, then drizzle the red wine sauce over top. Enjoy!
