Welcome To My Kitchen! Let’s Make Roast Beef!

Step 1: Preheat and Season

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels, then rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.

Step 2: Sear the Roast

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned roast and sear it on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 3: Roast

Transfer the seared roast to a roasting pan or baking dish.
Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Place the roast in the preheated oven and roast uncovered for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers your desired level of doneness (about 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done).
Baste the roast with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.

Step 4: Rest and Serve

Once cooked to your liking, remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board.
Tent the roast loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
While the roast is resting, you can make gravy by pouring the pan juices into a saucepan and whisking in flour over medium heat until thickened.
Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve with your favorite side dishes.
