Ingredients

  • 6 to 7 lb. boneless beef rib roast
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil
  • 1/4 cup light molasses
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic

Instructions

  1. Set oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Place the beef rib roast in a plastic bag and set in a deep bowl.
  3. Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, cooking oil, light molasses, ground ginger, dry mustard, and minced garlic.
  4. Pour the marinade over the meat in the plastic bag, seal it, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Remove the meat from the marinade and place it in a roasting pan.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours or until desired doneness.
  7. Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.

Tips & Substitutions

For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef for up to 24 hours. If you don't have molasses, maple syrup or honey can work as substitutes. You can also add a splash of rice vinegar for extra acidity. Make sure to let the roast come to room temperature before cooking for an even result. A meat thermometer is recommended for perfect doneness.

Serving Suggestions

Slice the teriyaki roast beef thinly and serve it with steamed rice or mashed potatoes. It pairs beautifully with Hearty Baked Bean Casserole for a comforting meal. Consider a side of sautéed green beans or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the beef. Drizzle some leftover marinade over the sliced beef for added flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Leftovers should be cooled completely before storing. Wrap the roast tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice the beef and freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months. To reheat, place it in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through, avoiding drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or sirloin, but cooking times will vary. Make sure to adjust the roasting time according to the thickness of the meat. Flank steak will cook faster, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.

What can I serve with teriyaki roast beef?

Teriyaki roast beef pairs well with a variety of sides. Consider serving it with steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete Asian-inspired meal. It also works well with traditional American recipes like mashed potatoes or coleslaw.

How do I know when the roast beef is done?

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 135°F (57°C); for medium, 145°F (63°C). Remember that the beef will continue to cook while resting, so remove it from the oven a few degrees early for best results.
