Ingredients

- 3 to 4 pounds of beef roast (such as ribeye or sirloin)

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 teaspoons kosher salt

- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

- 1 cup beef broth

- Optional: vegetables for roasting (carrots, potatoes, onions)

Directions

1. Begin by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (232°C).

2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and thyme to form a fragrant herb paste.

3. Generously spread the paste over the beef roast, making sure to cover all surfaces for maximum flavor infusion.

4. Position the beef on a roasting rack within a deep pan, adding chopped vegetables around it if you wish for added depth of flavor.

5. Pour beef broth into the bottom of the pan to create a steamy environment that will enhance moisture throughout the roasting process.

6. Place the roast in the hot oven and cook for 15 minutes to develop a rich, brown crust.

7. Once the initial roasting time is up, lower the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue to roast for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, checking for your desired doneness (medium-rare at 135°F, medium at 145°F).

8. After reaching the perfect internal temperature, remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes. This resting period is crucial for juicy, flavorful slices.

9. Slice the roast against the grain for tender pieces and serve with the flavorful pan juices, accompanied by your roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
