Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Pat the roast beef dry with paper towels. This helps create a nice crust.
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub the olive oil all over the roast, then generously coat it with the spice mixture.
• Place the roast in a roasting pan.
• Roast for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue roasting for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
• Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, tented with foil, for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the roast more tender and moist.
• Slice the roast thinly against the grain.
