"Roasting the beef at a low temperature cooks the meat slowly and evenly also makes for a very tender juicy roast. Plan ahead the roast must sit at room temperature for 2 hours before cooking, this will allow the meat fibers to relax. Make sure you have a insta-read meat themometer for this and make sure the garlic is very finely minced. Ingredients listed are really only a guideline you may adjust to taste. Serve roast with a creamy mushroom gravy"
