Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pat the beef sirloin dry with paper towels and set aside on a cutting board.
In a small bowl, finely chop the rosemary, thyme, parsley, and garlic cloves.
Add the chopped herbs and garlic to a larger bowl, then mix in the black pepper, salt, olive oil, and Dijon mustard to create a paste.
Rub the herb paste generously over the entire surface of the beef, ensuring even coverage.
Place the beef in a roasting pan, then insert it into the preheated oven.
Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F) for medium-rare or 70°C (160°F) for medium.
Once cooked to your desired level, remove the beef from the oven and cover it with foil, letting it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the beef thinly and serve with your choice of sides.
