Easy Italian Roast Beef

Instructions

Remove beef from refrigerator and season liberally on all sides with the salt and black pepper. Allow beef to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and position a roasting rack inside.

Set the beef in center of roasting rack. Rub the beef with the olive oil. Coat the top with an even layer of the Italian seasoning, and sprinkle with the garlic powder.

Roast the beef on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F. Continue roasting until meat reaches an internal temperature of 135-140°F for medium doneness, 90-120 minutes.

Check to see that beef is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow beef to rest for 10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Brining with Salt & Herbs 🧂
Apply salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning 12-24 hours before roasting to allow seasoning to penetrate deeply and enhance moisture retention throughout the meat.
Sear Before Roasting 🔥
Sear the roast in hot olive oil on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side before roasting to create a flavorful crust that locks in juices and develops complex browning.
Room Temperature Start ⏱️
Remove the roast from refrigeration 1-2 hours before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and more consistent, tender results throughout the meat.
Infuse Oil with Aromatics 🫒
Warm your olive oil with minced fresh garlic before applying to the roast to amplify garlic flavor beyond just the powder and create an aromatic base.
Rest and Tent Properly 🥩
After roasting, rest the meat for 10-15 minutes under a foil tent to allow carryover cooking and allow juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness and juiciness.
