Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Generously rub the beef roast with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and minced garlic.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear each side of the roast for about 3-4 minutes until golden crust forms.

  6. Slice the roast beef against the grain, serve it with your favorite sides.
