Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, oats, egg, and low sodium soy sauce.
Add black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and ground mustard to the meat mixture and mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place a large piece of plastic wrap on your work surface, and transfer the meat mixture onto the plastic wrap.
Shape the meat into a rectangular layer approximately ¾-inch thick.
Spread the ketchup evenly across the top of the meat mixture.
Using the plastic wrap to assist, carefully roll the meat into a log, similar to rolling sushi. Ensure the roll is tight and compact.
Transfer the meat roll onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Discard the plastic wrap.
Brush the top of the meat roll with olive oil to ensure a golden brown crust when baked.
Bake the meat roll in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Once baked, remove the meat roll from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
