Ingredients

Meat

  • 3-4 pounds boneless beef roast (Ribeye, Top Sirloin, or Tri-Tip)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions 

  • Rub the roast with salt 24-48 hours before cooking, then refrigerate uncovered.
  • One hour before cooking, dry the roast, rub with oil, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Roast at high heat for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 300°F (150°C) and roast until internal temp reaches 125°F (52°C).
  • Remove from oven, tent with foil, and rest for 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for best results and let the roast rest before slicing.
