4
DO NOT BASTE the roast beef during cooking or it will remove the herb crust from the meat.
5
Check the temperature with a meat thermometer for desired doneness. (We prefer ours at Medium is 145 degrees F and will take approximately ⏱️ 1 hour ⏱️ 10 minutes for a 2lb. roast).
6
Remove the roast from the oven; then allow to sit for ⏱️ 5 minutes before carving against the grain.
