THERE’S NOTHING QUITE LIKE A BEAUTIFULLY COOKED ROAST BEEF TO ELEVATE YOUR MEAL!

Tender, flavorful, and simply mouthwatering, this roast beef recipe is perfect for any occasion. Pair it with Zina’s Orzo Confetti Salad for a colorful and delicious side that complements the rich flavors of the beef.

Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef tenderloin or top sirloin
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 tbsp butter for searing

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and olive oil. Rub the seasoning into the meat, and let it rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, sear the beef on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Transfer the beef to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Roast for about 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).
5. Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
6. Slice the roast beef thinly and serve!

Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, spread a bit of Dijon mustard over the beef before roasting!

Pair this perfectly seared roast beef with Zina’s Orzo Confetti Salad for a refreshing, vibrant side that balances the richness of the meat. Can you imagine this on your dinner table tonight?
