Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This high temperature will help to create a nice crust on the roast.
- 2
Season the Beef
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the roast. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
Roasting
- 3
Sear the Roast
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat a bit more olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Lower Temperature
After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue to roast for an additional 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium rare, 145°F for medium).
Resting and Serving
- 6
Rest the Roast
Once the roast reaches your desired temperature, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the roast against the grain into thin slices. Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy your delicious roast beef!
