Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare the roast: Remove beef from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to bring it closer to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Create the herb rub: Mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard into a paste. Rub evenly over the entire roast.
- Sear the beef: Heat a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned to lock in flavor.
- Roast: Transfer the pan to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Roast until desired doneness, about 60–90 minutes depending on size and preferred temperature.
- Rest the meat: Remove roast from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
- Make the sauce: Add beef broth and optional red wine to the pan juices. Simmer and whisk in butter for a flavorful finishing sauce.
- Serve: Slice roast beef against the grain and serve with pan sauce and your favorite side dishes.
Notes
For the juiciest results, always allow the roast to rest before slicing so the juices redistribute. Use a meat thermometer for the most accurate doneness. Leftovers are delicious in sandwiches, salads, or wraps.
