Oven Roasted Beef

The key here is timing. Knowing when to take it out of the oven is the way to make this one perfect. I decided to keep this recipe simple and easy to do. The ingredients are simple too so that you will have no problems finding them. Most of it you already have, I guess. I wanted to give you guys the best I have and this is one of them. I haven't included any sauce or gravy in this recipe mainly because the juices of the beef will serve as the sauce but it is an option I will leave for you to decide.
