Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pounds bottom round beef
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or 2 teaspoons fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Roasting pan
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Remove the beef from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425℉ (220℃). In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, kosher salt, thyme, and black pepper to create the garlic herb rub.
  3. Lightly coat the beef with olive oil, then thoroughly rub the seasoning all over the surface of the meat.
  4. Place the seasoned meat on a rack inside a roasting pan. Put it in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes at 425℉.
  5. Lower the oven temperature to 325℉ (163℃) and continue roasting the beef for about 1½ hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130℉ for medium-rare or 140℉ for medium doneness.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the roast to a cutting board and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 20-30 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Slice the beef thinly across the grain and serve immediately.
