Ingredients
  

For the Roast:
  • 1 kg 1.5 kosher French roast beef boneless
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup beef broth kosher
For the Gravy (Optional):
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup beef broth kosher
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Season the Roast: Pat the French roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture all over the roast.
  3. Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
  4. Roast the Beef: Transfer the roast to a roasting pan and add beef broth around it. Place in the oven and roast for 2 hours, or until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 58°C (135°F) for medium-rare. For a more done roast, cook longer to your preferred doneness.
  5. Rest the Roast: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  6. Make the Gravy (Optional): To make the gravy, whisk flour into the pan drippings, then add beef broth and bring to a simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Slice the roast and serve with the gravy (optional) and your favorite sides.

Notes

  • You can adjust the seasoning and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a thicker gravy, use cornstarch instead of flour.
  • The roast can be cooked in advance and reheated, but it’s best when freshly sliced.
