Perfect Roast Beef (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 3 garlic cloves, minced.
02 - 1 tbsp chopped thyme leaves, fresh.
03 - 4 teaspoons kosher salt.
04 - 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, fresh.
05 - 1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
06 - 1/4 cup olive oil, extra-virgin.
07 - 4 pounds of round roast.

# Instructions:

01 - Keep the roast uncovered in the fridge on a wire rack that's placed on a baking sheet for at least an hour or up to a full day.
02 - Turn your oven on to 450°F and let it heat up.
03 - Stir together the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until blended.
04 - Spread the mixture evenly over the surface of the roast.
05 - Put the roast on a rack within a roasting pan.
06 - Cook it at 450°F for 15 minutes.
07 - Drop the temperature down to 325°F.
08 - Roast for 1 hour and 45 minutes if you want medium doneness, or for a full 2 hours for medium-well.
09 - Wait for 15 to 30 minutes before cutting into it.

# Notes:

01 - Letting it age uncovered in the fridge makes a better texture.
02 - Cooking at two temperatures gets you the best crust.
03 - Don’t skip resting—it helps it stay juicy.
04 - Use a meat thermometer to get the temp just right.
