Garlic Lovers Roast Beef

Ingredients

• 3–4 lb beef roast (ribeye, sirloin, or chuck)

• 8–10 garlic cloves, minced (or roasted for extra sweetness)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 cup beef broth (optional, for basting)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare roast: Pat roast dry. In a small bowl, mix garlic, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub mixture generously over entire roast.

3. Sear (optional but recommended): Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear roast 2–3 minutes per side until browned for extra flavor.

4. Roast: Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour beef broth into the pan if desired for basting. Roast for 1–1.5 hours (depending on size) or until internal temp reaches:

   • 125°F (52°C) for rare

   • 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare

   • 145°F (63°C) for medium

5. Rest: Tent roast with foil and rest 15–20 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.

6. Serve: Slice against the grain and serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a rich gravy.
