Ingredients

• 4 lbs Boneless beef roast
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme, chopped
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 medium Parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
• 6 medium Potatoes, quartered
• 1 large Yellow onion, quartered
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Red wine
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels, then season it generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Rub the mixture all over the roast.

Step 4

Place the roast in the center of a large roasting pan or baking dish.

Step 5

In a separate mixing bowl, toss the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Scatter the vegetables around the beef roast in the roasting pan.

Step 7

Place the roasting pan in the oven and cook at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes to sear the outer edges of the roast.

Step 8

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, adjusting to your preferred level of doneness.

Step 9

Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with foil and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 10

While the roast rests, place the roasting pan with the vegetables and juices over medium heat on the stovetop.

Step 11

Add the beef broth and red wine to the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk this mixture into the pan juices to thicken the gravy.

Step 13

Simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency, then stir in the butter for added richness.

Step 14

Carve the beef roast into slices and serve it alongside the roasted vegetables, drizzling everything generously with the red wine gravy. Enjoy!
