Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef roast (e.g., top round or sirloin tip)
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup red wine (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a good sear.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Rub the mustard mixture all over the beef roast, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the roast on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan, fat side up.
Pour the beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan to catch drippings and add moisture to the roasting process. If using, add the red wine as well.
Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
Once the roast reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Transfer the drippings from the roasting pan to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, skimming off any fat, and season to taste to create a simple gravy.
Slice the roast beef thinly against the grain and serve with the homemade gravy on the side.
