  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sear the Beef Roast
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Season the beef roast with salt and pepper. Sear it on all sides for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Set aside.
