Ingredients

Seasoning Blend

1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp dry jerk seasoning
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp onion powder
3 tbsp complete seasoning
2 teaspoon adobo seasoning
4-5 cloves garlic (sliced)
6-8 whole cloves
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter (for searing)
For Marination:

For Marination

3-4 lbs beef roast (ribeye, top round, or sirloin tip)
2 tbsp oil (for coating the beef)
¼ cup vinegar or lime juice (for tenderizing and cleaning meat)
1 whole lime juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Soak your meat in water vinager and lime for 5 mins. Rinse and pat dry the beef roast.
Use a sharp knife to create small slits all over the surface of the beef.

Step 2: Season the Meat

In a bowl, mix all the dry seasonings: Black pepper , Jerk seasoning, Red pepper flakes , Oregano, thyme, Rosemary, Onion powder, Complete seasoning, Adobo
Generously rub the seasoning blend all over the beef, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Insert the sliced garlic into the slits.
Stick whole cloves evenly around the roast to infuse deep, warm flavors.
Cover and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor infusion.

Step 3: Sear for Maximum Flavor

Remove the beef from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This locks in juices and enhances flavor.

Step 4: Roast in the Oven

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
Transfer the seared beef to a roasting pan.
Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches:
Medium-rare: 130°F (54°C)
Medium: 140°F (60°C)
Well-done: 160°F (71°C)
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing to retain juiciness.
