Method
Directions
-
1
Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pat the beef roast dry and make 15 small cuts (about 1/2 inch deep) around the meat. Insert a garlic slice into each incision.
-
2
Rub the roast with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the salt, pepper, and herbs over the entire surface. Place the roast on a rack, and set the rack in a roasting pan. Pour the water and broth into the pan, making sure the liquid does not touch the roast.
-
3
Roast for 40 minutes, or until the thickest part of the roast reaches 125 degrees F. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees F and cook another 15 minutes, or until the meat reaches 135 degrees F.
-
4
Remove the meat from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves if you like, then thinly slice the roast against the grain and serve.
