Rosemary and Garlic Roast Beef is a flavorful, tender roast with a crisp herbed crust that’s perfect for a hearty dinner or holiday gathering. Fresh rosemary and garlic infuse every bite with savory depth, making it an easy yet impressive main dish.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 lb beef roast (top sirloin, eye of round, or rib roast)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced or mashed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rosemary, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a paste. Add mustard or balsamic vinegar if using.
  3. Rub the paste evenly over the roast, pressing it into the surface.
  4. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast at 425°F for 15 minutes.
  5. Lower oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting until internal temp reaches 125°F for medium-rare (use a thermometer).
  6. Remove roast and let rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Let the roast come to room temperature before cooking for even results.
  • Roast time varies: about 15–20 minutes per pound after the initial high-temp sear.
  • Add vegetables to the pan for a one-pan meal.
  • Use pan drippings to make a quick gravy by deglazing with broth or wine.
