Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef roast (top round or sirloin)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, kosher salt, onion powder, and dried thyme.
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels and rub olive oil all over the surface. Coat the roast evenly with the spice mixture, rubbing it firmly into the meat.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Remove the roast from heat and spread the minced garlic and whole grain mustard evenly over the top.
Pour the beef broth and red wine into the skillet or roasting pan around the beef (not over the top) to create a flavorful base for the sauce.
Cover the roast loosely with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Roast the beef in the oven for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes, tented with foil, to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the beef rests, simmer the pan drippings over medium heat to reduce the sauce, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Slice the roast beef thinly against the grain, drizzle the reduced sauce over the slices, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve your Elegant Spicy Roast Beef with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
