Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds beef top sirloin roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Brush the entire surface with Dijon mustard. This will help the herb mixture adhere to the meat and add a delicious tangy flavor.
Coat the beef evenly with the herb and oil mixture, pressing it on with your hands to form a crust.
Place the herb-crusted beef roast on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes. This will create a nice crust on the outside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (162°C) and continue roasting for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Slice the beef thinly against the grain and serve warm. Enjoy your high protein herb-crusted roast beef!
