Ingredients
4 lbs boneless beef rib roast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 cup beef broth
2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
3. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and Dijon mustard.
4. Rub the mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.
5. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
7. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
8. Remove the roast from the oven and tent it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
9. While the roast is resting, pour the beef broth into the roasting pan and scrape any browned bits from the bottom.
10. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry, then stir it into the pan to make a gravy.
11. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
12. Carve the roast into slices and serve with the gravy on the side.
