Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Let the beef sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Coat the beef generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Rub in minced garlic and fresh herbs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear the beef on all sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the beef to a roasting pan. Roast at 450°F for about 20 minutes, then lower to 325°F until 125°F internal temp for medium-rare.
  5. Let the beef rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Cover with foil to keep warm while resting.
  6. Slice against the grain and serve with sides like creamy mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
