Best-Ever Roast Beef

By Addie

“A flavor-packed coating of Dijon-style mustard and fresh mixed herbs turns a succulent beef roast into a mealtime marvel!”

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. Dijon-style mustard
• 3 lb. rump roast
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
• 1 tbsp. dried tarragon
• 1 tbsp. black peppercorns, coarsely crushed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and mustard, then spread mixture over the outside of the beef.


Combine the parsley, chives, tarragon and peppercorns on a plate. Roll the beef in herb mixture to coat. Transfer the coated beef to a large roasting pan.


Roast the beef until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the center of the beef registers 170°F, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Cover beef with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve roast into thick slices to serve.


Grandma's Secret Tip

In Step 1, coat the beef with 1 crushed garlic clove combined with 1–2 tbsp. creamed horseradish in place of the
Dijon-style mustard.
