Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Boneless beef roast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Place the beef roast on a clean working surface.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using a basting brush or your hands, rub the mustard evenly over the surface of the beef roast.
Then, apply the herb paste mixture over the mustard-coated roast, ensuring an even coating all over.
Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast for accurate temperature reading.
Roast the beef for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C) to create a flavorful crust.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue roasting for an additional 60-75 minutes, or until the thermometer reaches your desired doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare, 145°F for medium).
Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Slice the roast beef across the grain into thick slices, and serve with your favorite sides.
