Steps

1. Start with the roast beef at room temperature
2. Preheat the oven to 375°F
3. With a sharp knife, make small incisions around the roast beef
4. Insert cloves of garlic into those small incisions
5. Coat with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, thyme and rosemary. Make sure to season all sides
6. Place the roast beef in the cast-iron skillet or roasting rack, fatty side up
7. Insert the meat thermometer’s meat probe and make sure the tip is in the center of the meat
8. Brown the roast beef at 375°F for 30 minutes
9. Once the roast beef surface is browned, lower the heat to 225°F
10. Keep an eye on the meat temperature using a meat thermometer, and cook for 2 to 3 hours (cooking time will depend on the meat size, initial meat temp, etc)
11. If you want your roast beef to be medium-rare, check the meat thermometer, and when the inside temperature of the roast beef reaches 128°F, remove it from the oven.
12. Do not remove the meat thermometer’s probe and let it rest for about 10 minutes. While resting the roast beef, cover it with a foil and let it cook continuously with the residual heat until it reaches a temperature of about 135°F.
13. Slice thinly and serve with gravy and with sides with your choice.

[for the gravy]

1. Using the same cast iron skillet used to cook roast beef, remove the excess oil and set aside the dripping
2. Saute mushrooms (with salt and pepper), once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside
3. Add butter, all-purpose flour, and mix
4. Add red wine, beef broth, drippings from the roast beef, Worchestshire Sauce, and keep stirring until thickened
5. Add water and soy sauce, and mix.
6. Bring it to a boil
7. Put back the mushrooms
