• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 teaspoons rosemary leaves
• 2 and a half pounds boneless beef top loin roast
• Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix the garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary, then spread the paste all over the meat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 3 hours up to overnight.
2. When ready to cook the meat, remove it from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for an hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
4. Coat the roast lightly with olive oil and place it on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the meat for 75 to 95 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 125 to 130°F.
5. Let the meat cool entirely before carving.

Remember, you don’t have to make roast beef for your sandwiches, you can use leftovers; your roast beef sandwiches will turn out just as great!
