Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue roasting for an additional 45–60 minutes, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (e.g., 55°C/130°F for rare, 60°C/140°F for medium-rare, 65°C/150°F for medium).

If desired, add the beef broth to the bottom of the roasting pan halfway through the roasting process (around the 30-minute mark after reducing the temperature) for extra pan juices.

Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the oven. Transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest, loosely tented with foil, for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This resting period is crucial for the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and moist roast.

Slice the roast beef against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling with the flavorful pan juices from the roasting pan. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
