4–6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp salt
1–2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
🔪 Instructions

1. Bring to Room Temperature
   Take the roast out of the fridge 2–3 hours before cooking
   This helps it cook evenly
2. Season Generously
   Mix oil/butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs
   Rub all over the meat (don’t be shy!)
3. High-Heat Start 🔥
   Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F)
   Roast for 20 minutes to create a crust
4. Slow Roast
   Lower temperature to 120°C (250°F)
   Continue cooking:
   Rare: ~45–50 min per kg
   Medium: ~55–60 min per kg
5. Check Doneness 🌡️
   Rare: 50–52°C (122–125°F)
   Medium-rare: 55°C (130°F)
   Medium: 60°C (140°F)
6. Rest the Meat
   Remove from oven and let it rest 20–30 minutes
   This keeps it juicy!
   🍽️ Optional Quick Au Jus

   Simmer and scrape browned bits
   Season to taste
