Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place peppers, onions, potatoes, and whole garlic cloves on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
Using a paring knife, make 12 small slits in top and sides of roast; insert garlic slivers. Move vegetables to sides of baking sheet. Place beef in center, and rub with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Combine 1 1/2 tsp. coarse salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and thyme, rub mixture over beef.
Transfer to oven; roast, tossing vegetables occasionally, until tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of beef registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 40 to 50 minutes. Let meat stand 10 minutes, covered loosely with aluminum foil. Cut half the meat into very thin slices; serve with vegetables.
