Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef roast (e.g., ribeye or top sirloin)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns, freshly crushed
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Season it evenly with the kosher salt.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed black peppercorns, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Mix until a thick paste forms.
Rub the herb and peppercorn mixture evenly over the surface of the beef roast, ensuring all sides are coated.
Place the roast on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan. This allows air to circulate around the meat for even cooking.
Roast the beef in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to develop a crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices and serve. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
