Ingredients
Scale
- 3-4 lbs beef roast (such as ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 onion, quartered
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Rub the beef roast with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the roast on a rack inside a roasting pan. Surround with onion, carrots, and celery.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to sear the outside.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the roast from the oven and tent with foil; let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Optional: Use pan drippings and beef broth to make a flavorful gravy.
Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer to check doneness and allow the roast to rest to retain its juices. Serve with roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes.
