Instructions
roast beef
- Remove roast from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking, to get the 'chill' off roast.
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Place oil, rosemary, thyme, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper into a small mixing bowl and whisk together until combined.
- Rub herb mixture all over roast and transfer to a roasting pan.
- Cook roast at 425˚F for 15 minutes, then lower temperature to 325˚F and continue cooking for about 45 minutes (for medium-rare, 135˚F but remove from oven at 130˚F) or about 1 hour(for medium, 145˚F but remove from oven at 140˚F).
- Remove roast from oven and loosely cover with foil for about 20 minutes.

Notes
- Tips and Tricks for Roast Beef Success
- Allow beef to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before roasting it. This will create a more juicy and evenly cooked end product!
- Use a thermometer (if it's instant read, it's even better). Using a thermometer is the best way to ensure you're not under or overcooking the roast.
- Allow beef to rest once it comes out of the oven (20 to 30 minutes). This allows the fibers in the beef to relax, ensuring a tender and juicy roast.
- Use a sharp chef's knife to slice the roast for clean cuts that will keep the beef tender. People will often use a serrated knife to slice roasts, but serrated knives actually tend to rip up the beef and not give clean cuts.
