This Roast Beef with Fresh Herbs recipe is easy to make and incredibly tasty! This beautifully savory dish is the perfect succulent meal to serve when hosting a dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 3 lbs.) boneless top sirloin roast, room temperature and pat dry
- ground Himalayan sea salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- 1 tsp. dry mustard, or more to taste
- 2-3 tbsp. olive oil tips & tricks
- 1/4 cup fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped tips & tricks
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped tips & tricks
- 2 large cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp. grapeseed oil, or just enough to moist the herb mixture
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF.
- Let the roast sit on the counter until it reaches room temperature, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Pat it dry with paper towel and season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and mustard; set aside.
- Heat an ovenproof pan over medium-high and add oil. When it gets hot, sear roast on all sides and ends.
- Lift the seared roast and place a wire rack underneath before placing the meat, fat side up.
- Insert a probe and transfer to the preheated oven; cook for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 325ºF and cook until the internal temperature reaches 140ºF (*see footnote).
- While the roast is cooking, in a medium bowl combine herbs and garlic. Pour in oil, stirring, until the herb mixture is moist.
- When the roast internal temperature reaches 115ºF, remove from the oven and quickly spread the herb mixture on top, pressing down lightly. Return the roast to the oven to finish cooking.
- When the internal temperature reaches 140ºF, remove the roast from the oven and place it on a carving board. Tent the roast with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before slicing.
Notes
Footnote: The cooking time may vary depending on size, actual oven temperature, etc. Using a probe is a smart way to cook your roast perfectly every time. Also keep in mind that a bone-in prime rib will take more time to cook in the oven. For a rare to medium-rare roast, the internal temperature should reach 140ºF. If it's too rare for some, quickly sauté a slice of roast beef on both sides in a hot pan with a little gravy for up to 2 minutes.
