Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the Beef
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Rub all over with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
3. Assemble the Roasting Pan
Arrange the baby potatoes, bell peppers, and red onion evenly in the roasting pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then pour in the beef broth. Place the seasoned beef roast on top of the vegetables.
4. Roast the Beef
Roast uncovered for 75–90 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches:
- 135°F for medium-rare
- 145°F for medium
Baste once or twice with pan juices if desired.
5. Rest & Serve
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted vegetables and spoon the flavorful pan juices over the top.
