Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Beef roast (top round or sirloin tip)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the beef roast on a clean cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.

Step 3

Rub the entire surface of the roast with olive oil.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, and onion powder.

Step 5

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast, pressing it gently to help it adhere.

Step 6

Place the seasoned roast on a wire rack in a roasting pan. This allows the heat to circulate evenly around the meat.

Step 7

Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, being careful to avoid any bones.

Step 8

Roast the beef in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 160°F (71°C) for well-done.

Step 9

Once the roast reaches your desired temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices and serve warm with your favorite sides or gravy.
