  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Garlic Butter

  • ⅓ cup butter (softened)
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (chopped)

Beef Roast

  • 2 pound top-round beef roast or beef tenderloin
  • ½ tablespoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 ½ tablespoon black pepper

Optional Side

  • Roasted potatoes and carrots

Instructions

  1. Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, and chopped fresh thyme. Mash the mixture with a fork until well combined. Set the garlic butter aside for later use.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425℉ (218℃) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even roasting.
  3. Prepare the beef: Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove any moisture, which helps achieve a good sear and crust.
  4. Season the beef: Season the entire surface of the beef roast evenly with salt and black pepper. Then, thoroughly rub the garlic butter all over the beef using clean hands to ensure it adheres well and infuses flavor.
  5. Roast the beef: Place the beef roast on a roasting pan rack positioned in the center of the oven. Roast at 425℉ for 15 minutes to develop a flavorful crust. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325℉ (163℃) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 135 to 140℉ (57 to 60℃) for medium-rare doneness. This will take approximately 20 minutes per pound, so for a 2-pound roast, expect around 40 minutes.
  6. Rest the roast: Remove the beef from the oven and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Resting redistributes the juices, making the meat moist and tender when sliced.
  7. Slice and serve: After resting, slice the roast against the grain to ensure tenderness and serve with your choice of roasted potatoes and carrots or other favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to accurately check the internal temperature of the beef to avoid overcooking.
  • Letting the beef rest after roasting is crucial for juicy results.
  • If preferred, you can use other herbs like parsley or oregano in the garlic butter for a different flavor profile.
  • Roasted vegetables such as potatoes and carrots can be cooked in the oven simultaneously but on a separate tray.
  • Adjust salt according to dietary preferences.
