Ingredients
- 1.5 kg beef roast (preferably sirloin or rib-eye)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 6-8 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for potato wedges)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Rub the beef roast with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Roast the Beef
Place the beef roast in a roasting pan. Pour the beef broth around the roast. Roast in the oven for about 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare. For well-done, cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Potato Wedges
While the beef is roasting, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Step 4: Rest the Beef
Once the beef roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This ensures the meat stays juicy.
Step 5: Serve
Slice the beef roast and serve with the crispy potato wedges. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
