Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat the 2 lb beef roast dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper into a paste.
Step 3
Rub the paste all over the beef roast, coating all sides evenly.
Step 4
Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°F and continue roasting until internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, about 20-25 minutes more.
Step 5
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. The roast should be browned outside and pink inside.
