👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear; this is crucial for a crust.
2. Rub the beef generously with olive oil, then season all sides liberally with salt, freshly ground black pepper, crushed garlic, and chopped rosemary and thyme.
3. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over high heat. Once smoking, sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 2-3 minutes per side, creating a beautiful crust.
4. Transfer the skillet with the roast to the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 60-75 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature 55-57°C / 130-135°F), adjusting time for desired doneness.
5. Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute for a tender result.
6. Slice the roast beef against the grain into thin slices. Serve immediately with pan drippings, if desired, and your favorite side dishes.
