Rosemary Garlic Roast Beef Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450˚F.

Prepare a roasting pan with a rack set over it; set aside.

Step 3

Take the roast out of the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking, and up to 2 hours before cooking.

Pat dry the meat with paper towels.

Using a sharp knife, cut slits in the roast and insert the slivered garlic evenly around the whole roast.

Step 6

In a small bowl combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper; mix until thoroughly incorporated.

Step 7

Rub the rosemary mixture all around the roast.

Step 8

Place roast on top of the rack that is set over the roasting pan.

Step 9

Stick an ovenproof meat thermometer into the center of the meat.

Step 10

Put prepared meat in the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
