Instructions
Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Pro tip: Ensure your oven is fully preheated before inserting the roast.
Season the beef
Rub the roast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Pro tip: Massage the spices into the meat for even seasoning.
Roast the beef
Place the beef on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Pro tip: This initial high heat will create a crust on the roast.
Reduce the temperature
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
Rest the beef
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes covered loosely with foil.
Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat juicy.
Prepare the gravy
In the roasting pan, sprinkle flour over the drippings, stirring to combine. Gradually whisk in beef stock and Worcestershire sauce, cooking over medium heat until thickened.
Pro tip: Scrape up any browned bits from the pan for added flavour.
Carve and serve
Slice the roast beef against the grain and serve with the gravy on the side.
Pro tip: Thin slices ensure tenderness.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
- Let the beef rest before slicing to retain juices.
- Choose a well-marbled cut for extra flavour and tenderness.
