Classic Roast Beef
Directions
- 1Place your oven rack into the bottom or second-to-bottom slot in your oven.
- 2Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 3Place your roast onto the rack of a roasting pan.
- 4In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- 5Stir the seasoning mixture together.
- 6Lather this mixture all over your beef roast, ensuring to flip it and coat the sides and the bottom of the roast.
- 7Roast this in our 325-degree oven for somewhere in the hour and 15 minutes to hour and 45 minute range.
- 8Start checking the internal temperature at the hour mark.
- 9You are looking for an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 10If you want to give it that nice reverse sear finish, you'll crank up the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit for that final 5 degrees until you reach 135.
- 11Once it reaches its target internal temperature, pull it out of the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
