Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef roast (ribeye or sirloin tip)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 3

Pat the beef roast dry using paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and promotes a better crust.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 5

Rub the olive oil over the entire surface of the roast. Then evenly coat the roast with the seasoning mixture, pressing it gently to adhere.

Step 6

Place the seasoned roast on a wire rack set over a roasting pan. This allows heat to circulate evenly around the meat.

Step 7

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast to monitor its internal temperature while cooking.

Step 8

Roast the beef in the preheated oven for 15 minutes at 475°F (245°C) to sear and develop a crust.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 120–125°F (49–52°C) for rare. This should take approximately 60–75 minutes, depending on the size and shape of your roast.

Step 10

Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve with fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish, if desired. Enjoy!
