Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.

Rub the garlic herb paste all over the beef roast, ensuring even coverage.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer the seared roast to a roasting pan.

Spread mustard over the top of the roast for added flavor.

Add chopped carrots, potatoes, and onions around the roast in the pan.

Pour beef broth into the pan and add bay leaves for extra flavor.

Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Baste the roast with the pan juices every 30 minutes.

Once done, remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil.

Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

Slice the roast against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables.
