Let the beef roast sit in the refrigerator uncovered for at least 1 hour up to overnight to dry out the surface.

Chop fresh rosemary, thyme, and garlic, then mix them with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper to create a paste.

Take the beef roast out of the refrigerator and apply the herb paste evenly over the entire roast, including the bottom.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Place the roast in the hot oven for 15 minutes to help develop a crust.

After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and cook for about 1.5 hours.

Use a probe thermometer to check the internal temperature; aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.

Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

After resting, snip off the twine and slice the roast from the thinner side into thin slices.
