Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef top sirloin roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, black pepper, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Mix well to create the herb rub.
Step 3
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels, which will help the herb mixture adhere better.
Step 4
Rub the herb mixture generously all over the beef, ensuring it is well coated.
Step 5
Place the beef roast on a wire rack in a roasting pan to allow even heat circulation. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the roast without touching bone.
Step 6
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or adjust according to your desired level of doneness.
Step 7
Once cooked to your liking, remove from the oven and tent the roast with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes; this will help the juices redistribute and result in a juicier roast.
Step 8
Carve the roast into thin slices and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
