Garlic Roast Beef

This is a great recipe for roast beef. I love garlic, and this beef has lots of it. It is especially good in French dip sandwiches with a homemade au jus. The best French dips I've ever had!

Ingredients:

2-3 lb beef roast
3-4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
olive oil spray
salt & pepper, to taste
2 tsp fresh or dried chopped rosemary
meat thermometer

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Using a thin, sharp knife, pierce meat about 1/2-inch deep in several places and insert pieces of garlic in each hole, pushing in as far as possible.
3. Spray the meat with olive oil spray.
4. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.
5. Place roast into roast pan (or pan with baking rack) and push the thermometer all the way into the center of the roast.
6. When the oven reaches 350 degrees F, place the roast in the oven.
7. Roast until the thermometer reads 125 degrees F for rare, 135 degrees F for medium rare, 145 degrees F for medium, and 150-155 degrees F for well done. The temperature will rise an additional 5 degrees as it sits. (You want the final temperatures to be 130 degrees F for rare, 140 degrees F for medium rare, 150 degrees F for medium, and 155-160 degrees F for well done.)
8. Remove the roast from the oven and let rest 10-15 minutes before slicing.
