Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.
Rub the olive oil over the surface of the beef roast, then generously apply the herb and spice mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
Place the beef roast in a roasting pan, surrounded by the carrot chunks and potato quarters.
Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan, which will keep the beef moist and help cook the vegetables.
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil, sealing the edges tightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare to 160°F for medium.
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the top of the beef to brown.
Once done, let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful roast.
Serve the beef slices alongside the roasted vegetables, and spoon some of the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
