Ingredients

• 3 to 4 pounds beef roast (like ribeye or sirloin)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 1 teaspoon paprika

How to Make Herb-Crusted Roast Beef

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help create a beautiful crust on the roast.
2. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
3. Rub the herb mixture all over the beef roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
4. Place the beef roast in a roasting pan. In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Arrange the potatoes around the roast in the pan.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 135°F (57°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
6. Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
7. Serve the sliced roast beef with the roasted potatoes on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to come to room temperature before cooking for more even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your roast is cooked perfectly to your liking.
• Letting the roast rest after cooking is crucial for juicy, tender slices.

Easy Variations

• Try using different herbs such as oregano or basil for a unique flavor profile.
• Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the roasting pan for extra flavor and color.
• For a spicy kick, include a teaspoon of red pepper flakes in the herb mixture.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
• Creamy horseradish sauce for a classic pairing with roast beef.
• Garlic bread or crusty rolls to soak up the juices.
• Seasonal vegetables, such as roasted carrots or Brussels sprouts.
