Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef roast (e.g., top sirloin or chuck)
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 3 Carrots (cut into chunks)
• 2 Celery stalks (cut into chunks)
• 1 Yellow onion (quartered)
• 2 Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help it sear better.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef roast.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This locks in the flavor and creates a nice crust.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and surround the beef with the carrots, celery, onion quarters, and rosemary sprigs.

Step 8

Pour the beef broth into the skillet, ensuring the liquid covers the bottom of the pan but does not submerge the beef.

Step 9

Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

Step 10

Roast the beef in the oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness: 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well.

Step 11

When the beef reaches your desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.

Step 12

Slice the roast beef against the grain into thin slices and serve with the roasted vegetables and a drizzle of the pan juices.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
