Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup beef broth
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and olive oil to make a seasoning paste.

- Rub the seasoning paste all over the beef, ensuring that it is evenly coated.
- Place the beef on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan.
- Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan.
