Garlic Herb Roast Beef
Garlic herb roast beef is a classic main dish made with garlic, and fresh herbs rubbed all over the roast before baking.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels, then rub the garlic herb butter all over the outside of the roast.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the roast in the skillet and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning until it is browned all over.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the roast reaches your preferred doneness. For medium rare, aim for 130 to 135°F before resting.
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing thinly and serving.

Notes
- Pat the roast dry first: Drying the outside of the beef helps it sear better and develop a deeper crust in the skillet.
- Use a hot cast iron skillet: Make sure the skillet is fully heated before adding the roast so it browns well on all sides.
- Sear every side: Taking the time to brown the roast all over adds more flavor and gives the outside a better texture before it goes into the oven.
- Use a thermometer: Roast beef is best cooked to your preferred doneness, so checking the internal temperature is the easiest way to get it right.
- Let it rest before slicing: Resting the roast for 15 to 20 minutes helps keep the juices in the meat so it stays more tender when sliced.
