Ingredients

• 4 pounds Beef roast (prime rib or top sirloin)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack inside.

Step 2

Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to ensure a good crust forms during cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, parsley, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create an herb paste.

Step 4

Rub the herb paste evenly over the entire surface of the beef roast, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the herb-coated roast for a crispy finish.

Step 6

Place the beef roast on the prepared roasting rack in the roasting pan.

Step 7

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. Make sure it does not touch bone if using a bone-in cut.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Step 9

Remove the beef from the oven and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Slice the roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
