In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped rosemary, chopped
thyme, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well
until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the bottom round roast
generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over
medium-high heat. Place the seasoned roast in the skillet and sear it on all
sides until it develops a nice brown crust, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Once the roast is seared, remove it from the skillet and place it on a
cutting board. Spread the prepared herb butter evenly over the entire surface
of the roast.
Return the herb-buttered roast to the skillet or roasting pan. Place it
in the preheated oven and roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal
temperature reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an
internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let
it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and
ensures a juicy, tender roast. After resting, slice the bottom round roast into
thin slices.
Arrange the slices on a serving platter and drizzle any remaining herb
butter from the skillet over the top. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if
desired.
