Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beef Roast

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rub the beef roast with olive oil, then season it generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on all sides.

2

Roast the Beef

Place the seasoned beef roast in a roasting pan and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness.

3

Rest the Meat

Once done, remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

4

Make the Gravy

While the meat rests, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, bring the beef broth to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add it to the simmering broth. Stir continuously until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Serve

Slice the roast beef thinly against the grain and serve with the homemade brown gravy poured over the top.
