½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried rosemary or 2 sprigs fresh

👩‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS

1️⃣ Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.

2️⃣ Prepare the roast

Pat roast dry. Rub olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme all over the beef.

3️⃣ Sear the roast

In a hot skillet, sear roast 2–3 minutes per side until browned. This locks in juices.

4️⃣ Arrange vegetables

Place onions, carrots, and celery in the bottom of a roasting pan.
Place the seared roast on top.

5️⃣ Add liquid

Pour beef broth and optional red wine into the pan.
Cover loosely with foil.

6️⃣ Roast in oven

Roast 1.5–2 hours until internal temperature reaches 135–140°F (57–60°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
Baste occasionally with pan juices.

7️⃣ Rest and serve

Remove roast from oven and tent with foil. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve with roasted vegetables and pan gravy.
