Ingredients

• •3-4 lb beef roast (chuck or sirloin)
• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •1 tsp salt
• •1 tsp black pepper
• •1 tbsp garlic powder
• •1 tbsp onion powder
• •1 cup beef broth
• •1 cup water
• •2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• •2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• •1 tbsp butter (for gravy)
• •Optional: Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   Rub the beef roast all over with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. 3

   Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan, fat side up. If using, add fresh herbs around the roast.

4. 4

   Roast in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (medium-rare) or 145°F (medium).

5. 5

   Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps keep it juicy.

6. 6

   While the roast is resting, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and add flour to create a roux, stirring frequently until golden brown.

7. 7

   Gradually whisk in beef broth, water, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-8 minutes.

8. 8

   Slice the roast beef, serve it on the plate, and spoon the gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
