Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 pounds beef roast
Herbs and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Warm your kitchen oven precisely to 375F and prepare a sturdy roasting pan.
- Combine 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons chopped rosemary, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper into a fragrant herb paste.
- Massage the herbal mixture completely across every surface of the 3-pound beef roast, ensuring thorough and even coverage.
- Center the seasoned roast in the baking dish, positioning it fat side up for optimal rendering and browning.
- Slide the roasting pan into the preheated 375F oven, allowing the meat to develop a rich, golden exterior.
- Roast the beef for approximately 1.5 hours, tracking internal temperature for your preferred doneness – medium rare typically reaches 135F.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest undisturbed for 10 minutes, allowing internal juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice the roast against the grain into thin, tender medallions that showcase the herb-infused crust and succulent interior.
Notes
- Select a high-quality cut like top sirloin or tenderloin for the most tender results.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature, aiming for 135F for medium-rare or 145F for medium.
- Fresh rosemary makes a huge difference compared to dried herbs, so grab sprigs from your garden or a fresh bunch.
- For a low-carb or keto version, skip any added sugars and stick to the herb and oil rub, which naturally keeps the dish protein-focused.
