Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef roast (ribeye or top sirloin)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves (crushed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Remove the beef roast from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

Step 3

Pat the beef roast dry using paper towels, ensuring there is no excess moisture.

Step 4

Rub the roast all over with the olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped rosemary and thyme evenly over the roast, pressing them gently into the surface.

Step 6

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side, until a golden crust forms.

Step 7

Once seared, place the roast fat-side up in the skillet or pan. Add the beef broth, unsalted butter, and crushed garlic cloves to the pan.

Step 8

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. Transfer the skillet or pan to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Roast the beef at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes to lock in the juices, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting until the thermometer reads your desired doneness: 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium, or 145°F (63°C) for medium-well. This will take approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on the size of the roast.

Step 10

Once the desired doneness is achieved, remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

While the beef rests, strain the pan drippings into a small saucepan and simmer gently to create a rich jus or gravy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 12

After resting, carve the roast into thin slices against the grain using a sharp knife. Serve the slices with the prepared jus alongside your favorite side dishes.
