Ingredients

4 pound Beef Top Round Roast
2 teaspoon fresh oregano chopped
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
3 teaspoons fresh parsley chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Take your beef out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature on the counter for about a 1/2 hour.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
Combine all of the spices and garlic in a small bowl along with the olive oil.
Coat the beef with the herb and garlic mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
Place the roast on a wire rack inside a shallow baking dish or use a roasting pan with a wire rack. Sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper.
Roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees F.
Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast an additional 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes or until medium rare (125- to 130°F) doneness.
Remove from the oven and tent with tin foil for 15 minutes. Slice into thin pieces and serve with fresh parsley, sautéed mushroom and any additional favorite sides.

Notes

A top sirloin roast done in this low and slow method in the oeven will take you approximately 22 minutes per pound of meat.
This also depends on the thickness of your roast, if you let it come to room temperature and a lot of other factors. Use a thermometer and start checking after the hour point of cooking.
