Boneless Beef Cross Rib Roast with Green Beans and Onion Recipe

Boneless Beef Cross Rib Roast with Green Beans and Onion Recipe

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 (4 pound) beef cross rib tip roast
  • Green Beans & Caramelized Onions:
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen green beans, cooked, warm
  • Sauce:
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar beef gravy
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine garlic and pepper; press onto beef roast. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef, not resting in fat. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 325 degree F oven 2 hours for medium rare; 2-1/2 hours for medium doneness.
  2. About one hour before roast is done, cook bacon in large skillet until crisp; remove bacon. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Add onions; cook over medium-low heat 35 to 40 minutes or until very soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in vinegar and brown sugar. Cook over medium-high heat 1 to 2 minutes or until liquid is evaporated. Add beans and bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F for medium rare; 155 degrees F for medium. Tent with foil. Let stand 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees F to reach 145 degrees F for medium rare; 160 degrees F for medium.)
  4. Remove rack from pan; stir in gravy, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup water. Cook and stir over medium-low heat 3 to 5 minutes or until bubbly. Carve roast. Serve with sauce and vegetables.
