Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 5 lbs beef roast
- 4 lbs pork shoulder
- 3 lbs chicken thighs
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Base:
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Heat the oven precisely to 375°F, preparing a spacious roasting pan for multiple meats.
- Combine ¼ cup olive oil with 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped thyme, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper in a small mixing bowl.
- Thoroughly massage the herb mixture over the entire surface of the 5-lb beef roast, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Place the seasoned beef roast into the roasting pan and cook for exactly 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, carefully add the 4-lb pork shoulder to the pan, coating it with remaining herb mixture.
- Position the 3-lb chicken thighs alongside the other meats, distributing them evenly in the pan.
- Continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes, monitoring meat temperatures closely.
- Check internal temperatures using a meat thermometer: beef should reach 135°F, pork should hit 145°F, and chicken must register 165°F.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven and allow meats to rest undisturbed for 15 minutes before carving.
- Slice each meat against the grain to preserve tenderness and maximize flavor.
Notes
- Checking meat temperatures with a reliable digital thermometer ensures perfect doneness without overcooking.
- Letting meats rest after roasting allows juices to redistribute, creating more tender and flavorful results.
- Marinating the meats overnight can enhance flavor and help tenderize tougher cuts like pork shoulder.
- For gluten-free and low-carb diets, replace herb rubs with fresh herbs and skip any potential flour-based seasonings.
