Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef roast (top sirloin, eye of round, or similar cut)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 4 medium Potatoes, quartered
- 1 large Onion, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to help it sear properly.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme.
Rub the olive oil all over the beef roast, then evenly coat the roast with the spice mixture.
In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until it develops a deep brown crust, about 2 minutes per side.
Remove the roast from the skillet. Arrange the carrots, potatoes, and onion around the roast in the pan. Pour the beef broth into the pan to help keep the roast moist while cooking.
Place the pan in the preheated oven. Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to develop a flavorful crust, then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the roast from the oven and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the roast beef thinly against the grain and serve alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy your Awesome Roast Beef!
