We love how the minute roast saves time without sacrificing flavor. This quick-cooking kosher favorite sits beautifully at family gatherings or busy weeknight meals. We rely on a tender cut that sears to a gorgeous crust in just a few minutes. Thanks to its simple preparation we can focus on sides or dessert while the roast cooks to perfection.
We like to season the roast with classic spices that highlight its beefy richness. A short marinade or a simple rub brings out the natural taste without adding hours to our schedule. It’s perfect for a holiday feast or a weekday treat.
We prefer lean cuts for a minute roast so we can keep the focus on hearty slices that cook fast. We also stick to top-quality kosher ingredients for extra taste. Once you try it you’ll see why it’s a staple.

- 2 pounds of kosher minute roast for a quick sear
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for locking in flavor
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt for essential seasoning

Equipment
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Heavy-Bottomed Skillet | We rely on this to sear our Minute Roast Recipe Kosher fast and evenly |
| Instant-Read Thermometer | We use this to confirm the beef reaches our desired internal temperature |
| Tongs | We flip the roast without piercing the meat so we preserve those tasty juices |
| Oven-Safe Dish | We finish the roast here if we need additional cooking time for complete doneness |
We keep these items on hand to streamline our time-saving process. The heavy-bottomed skillet creates a swift char on our lean cut of beef. Tongs let us move the roast without losing juices. The instant-read thermometer helps us avoid overcooking by giving us precise temperature readings. If we choose to finish the process in the oven we use the oven-safe dish to lock in flavor while maintaining a tender interior.
Directions
We turn our Minute Roast into a savory dish with just a few steps. Let us move quickly for maximum flavor.
Prep
We remove the roast from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking so it warms slightly. We gather our heavy-bottomed skillet, tongs, and instant-read thermometer. We line up our ingredients: extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. We pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Season
We brush the entire roast with extra-virgin olive oil for a light coat. Then we rub in kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika so every surface is coated. We press the seasonings firmly so they adhere.
Cook
We heat our heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high until hot. We carefully place the roast in the skillet and sear each side for 2 to 3 minutes and turn it with tongs to seal in juices. If we prefer a well-done finish or if the roast is thick we transfer it to an oven-safe dish and place it in a preheated 375°F oven for up to 10 minutes or until our desired doneness. We check the internal temperature with our instant-read thermometer to confirm it meets our preference.
| Desired Doneness | Internal Temperature |
|---|---|
| Medium-Rare | 135°F |
| Medium | 145°F |
We remove the roast from heat and rest it for 5 minutes so the juices settle.
Serving Suggestions
We love slicing our Minute Roast Recipe Kosher thin for quick plating. We arrange the slices on a warm platter so the beef stays tender and juicy. We drizzle any remaining pan juices over the roast just before serving.
We find that simple sides work best to highlight this roast. Our favorites include:
- Roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary
- Steamed green beans with garlic seasoning
- Creamy mashed potatoes with non-dairy butter
- Garden salad with crisp lettuce and vibrant tomatoes
We also enjoy offering a tangy sauce on the side. We whisk extra-virgin olive oil lemon juice and dried herbs in a small bowl. We let our guests spoon it over their slices for extra zest.
We sometimes include warm dinner rolls or challah bread to create homemade roast sandwiches. We let everyone layer the sliced beef with their favorite toppings to maintain a fun interactive mealtime. For a light finish we serve fresh fruit sorbet or a simple fruit salad.
Here is a quick guide for portion sizes based on number of guests and roast weight:
| Number of Guests | Roast Weight Recommended |
|---|---|
| 4 | 2 pounds |
| 6 | 3 pounds |
We store any leftover roast in an airtight container. We reheat the slices gently or repurpose them in sandwiches or salads on the following day.
