Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place an oven-safe meat thermometer nearby for use later.
In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. This will be your seasoning rub.
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Rub the olive oil evenly over the surface of the meat.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire roast, pressing it into the surface to ensure it adheres.
Place the beef roast on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet. This allows for even air circulation and browning.
Roast the beef in the preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes to create a beautifully seared crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for approximately 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes; this lets the juices redistribute and results in a juicier roast.
Slice the roast thinly against the grain using a sharp knife. Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
