Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Boneless beef roast (choice cut like ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. This helps the herb crust adhere better.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, and olive oil. Mix well to create an herb paste.
Place the beef roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush it all over with Dijon mustard, ensuring it's completely coated.
Season the beef with salt and pepper evenly on all sides.
Spread the herb paste over the mustard-coated beef, pressing gently to adhere.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the herb crust. This will create a nice, crusty coating.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding any bone if using bone-in cuts.
Roast the beef in the oven for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the thermometer reads 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or just a bit longer for your desired doneness.
Remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.
Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Serve warm with your choice of low-carb sides.
