Ingredients

4–6 lb beef roast (ribeye roast or sirloin)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp kosher salt

1½ tsp black pepper

4 cloves garlic

2 tbsp fresh rosemary

2 tbsp fresh thyme

1 tbsp fresh parsley

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp lemon zest

1 onion

2 carrots

2 celery stalks

1 cup beef broth or red wine

Instructions

1. Bring the beef roast to room temperature for 45–60 minutes and pat it dry.

2. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

3. Rub the roast with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.

4. Mix garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and lemon zest into a paste.

5. Spread the herb mixture evenly over the roast.

6. Place onion, carrots, and celery in a roasting pan and set the roast on top. Add broth or wine.

7. Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to develop a crust.

8. Reduce temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting 12–15 minutes per pound.

9. Use a thermometer and remove at desired doneness (about 130–135°F for medium-rare).

10. Rest the roast for 15–20 minutes before slicing.

11. Slice against the grain and serve with pan juices.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness every time.

Let the roast rest before slicing to retain juices.

Fresh herbs provide the best flavor compared to dried alternatives.
