Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef roast (top sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups carrots (peeled and cut into large chunks)
- 2 cups yellow onions (quartered)
- 3 cups potatoes (quartered)
- 1 cup beef stock
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Place the beef roast on a cutting board and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and olive oil. Mix to form a paste.
Rub the herb and garlic paste evenly over the entire surface of the beef roast.
Arrange the carrots, onions, and potatoes in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Pour the beef stock over the vegetables.
Place a roasting rack in the pan above the vegetables, then place the prepared beef roast on the rack.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, ensuring it doesn't touch a bone.
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and roast for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
Once the roast reaches your desired temperature, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the beef roast against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables and pan juices drizzled over the top.
