This #SundaySupper we are featuring old school / retro recipes. I didn’t go very traditional like a tuna noodle casserole, but this recipe is retro to our family. Nana has been making this roast for decades. For Christmas she gave me a few local cookbooks and made sure to point out what page I could find this one on.
Nana mentioned in the book that it is a great dish to bring to tailgates. Since it’s served cold you can just grab it out of the cooler when you get to your location and you are ready to go. It is delicious served on buns or just by itself. We decided to make sliders out of it for dinner.
I had never tried this recipe before this week so I was looking forward to the roast beef that everyone in the family raves about. My husband who isn’t even a huge beef fan liked it. The flavors are so simple, but work so well together.

Roast beef always sounds great, but yours looks phenomenal! Interesting that you cook it first and then marinate the meat, I have never seen anybody do that, so naturally I am curious and want to try that once for myself. Thank you for sharing and Happy sunday! =D
I love old recipes from our Grandma’s. I have so many . They bring back fond memories. Roast Beef is a retro recipe for me as well because growing up we always ate it on Sundays–standard fare for many years. I cannot wait to try your recipe.
Looks fabulous! I love the idea of sliders. Yum
This roast sounds super flavorful but without much fuss. I love that you add the marinade after the meat is cooked and then allow it to cool completely in the fridge. I must try this!!!
I love it! Great recipe!!! My Husband would go bonkers for it!
I want it on a sandwich, or with mashed potatoes, or any way I can get it really!
Oh, my mouth is watering just looking at it! And I do love that it is just as good cold..mmm….
Very nice. Old family favorite recipes, especially when they were made by a beloved family member, are the best.
Yum! I’m pretty sure my husband would go crazy for this.

Lane, this looks succulent and delicious. That beef is calling my name.
Wow! Wish my gran would make roast beef like this
Looks quite yummy to me!! My husband would be all over this one!
That looks incredibly juicy! Nothing like a good roast–I’ll definitely give this recipe a try!
Oh my stars that look good and done to perfection!!
We always had beef roast when I was growing up. Brings back memories – great choice!
Yum!!! Roast beef is such a beautiful classic!
I love a perfectly cooked roast beef for a weekend meal complete with all the sides. Your photos look delicious!
Roast Beef is something we do often in the winter on Sundays as it was a family meal growing up. Love how juicy it looks when you marinate it!
This would be awesome with mashed potatoes. It looks wonderful.

Yum! I love roast beef because you can eat it hot or cold.
Best thing about grandmother roast beef recipes, they are always so simple and yet so flavorful. Thanks for sharing.
I haven´t made a piece of roast beef in ages. It´s the best meat for slow cooking and cold sandwiches! Great recipe Lane!
My grandmother made a similar roast beef recipe on Sundays. We ate it hot with gravy over spatzel.
Roast beef is something I haven’t made in a long time and yours looks great! Cut me a slice please?
Oh my gosh, I’m suddenly starving after looking at your photos. I love roast beef and I think it’s best when it’s simple, especially when you have a good cut of meat. This looks delicious!
Wow – marinated cold roast beef! It sounds fantastic!!!!
I’ve never made roast beef, but this looks delicious and sounds easy! I’d love this on a hearty sandwich roll!

What an interesting recipe. I’ve always seen where you marinate the beef before cooking instead of after. It sounds fabulous to me. I can see it thin sliced and on a nice roll. Yum!
such a simple recipe for a flavorful dish. The finace would be very happy if I made this for him. So I guess I should. Looks delicous!
I am not a fan of beef too but your recipe tempted me to try it soonest possible as is looks good and delicious!
Is there an advantage to cooking the roast then marinading it afterwards? (besides oops I forgot to marinade it haha) I love roast beef sandwiches, so that’s what I’d be making with this.
I’m honestly not sure, I guess that it ends up being more flavorful since it has been soaking in the marinade right up until you eat it.
I remember when my mom attempted roast beef and I swear I needed a hacksaw to cut through the beef. I love the sound of your marinade! And I agree with Carla, this would be perfect for a sandwich.
Oh this looks really lovely. I hate roast beef that looks like it’s dripping blood – this looks perfectly cooked. Yum!
