Roast Beef

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roast

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to create a seasoning paste. Rub this mixture all over the beef roast, ensuring it is well coated.

  2. 2

    Roast the Beef

    Place the seasoned beef roast in a roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven. Roast for 15 minutes at 450°F, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (163°C). Continue roasting for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).

  3. 3

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
