Worcestershire Butter Roast Beef. A beautiful roast of beef seasoned with Worcestershire sauce, garlic and thyme butter which gets marinated overnight for maximum flavour!

My idea for Worcestershire Roast Beef came from wanting to marinate a roast in Worcestershire sauce without the meat being overwhelmed by the flavour of the marinade.

I love the flavour of Worcestershire sauce with beef, it is a naturally delicious and complimentary combination. Marinating steaks or a roast overnight in the sauce though, can make it absorb too much, so I was looking for an alternate method to infuse the flavour.

My solution was a compound butter to act as a marinade. The Worcestershire sauce as well as garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and salt, all get suspended in the butter and slowly infuse the meat with their flavour overnight.

The next day I only had to pull the beef from the fridge and after letting it sit at room temperature for a while, then roast it to perfection. Served with our family favourite English Style Roasted Potatoes, gravy , steamed broccoli and some Yorkshire Pudding Popovers, it was a Sunday dinner worthy of the best British carvery.

Course: Dinner Cuisine: British Inspired Servings : 10 or more servings Calories : 400 kcal Author : Barry C. Parsons Ingredients 4 ib beef roast (prime rib, tenderloin or striploin roast is best)

1/3 cup soft butter

3 cloves minced garlic

1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp black pepper coarsely ground

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp English style mustard optional US Customary - Metric Instructions Cream together the butter, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, pepper and mustard. Using cold wet hands pat the butter all over the roast. Cover in plastic wrap and let stand in the fridge for up to a day. Take the roast out of the fridge and keep it at room temperature for 60-90 minutes roasting. This ensures a more even cooking of the beef. Place the roast on on a roasting rack in an aluminum foil lined shallow roasting pan. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Roast the beef, uncovered at this temperature for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F and roast uncovered for up to another hour or until the roast reaches the internal temperature desired for the doneness you prefer. See Notes. Baste the roast a couple of times with the butter and pan drippings during the cooking time Remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Leave it at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before carving. This is an essential step to let the meat relax and retain it's juices. Carving any roast too early can make all of the internal juices run off rapidly. After resting, slice thinly and serve.
