Ingredients

• 3 pounds Boneless beef roast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

Place the beef roast on a clean working surface.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Using a basting brush or your hands, rub the mustard evenly over the surface of the beef roast.

Step 5

Then, apply the herb paste mixture over the mustard-coated roast, ensuring an even coating all over.

Step 6

Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.

Step 7

Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast for accurate temperature reading.

Step 8

Roast the beef for 15 minutes at 450°F (232°C) to create a flavorful crust.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue roasting for an additional 60-75 minutes, or until the thermometer reaches your desired doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 10

Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to redistribute the juices.

Step 11

Slice the roast beef across the grain into thick slices, and serve with your favorite sides.
