Herb-Crusted Roast Beef with Horseradish Cream

This is what we are having tonight for dinner! What are you having???

Ingredients

1 (3 pound) boneless beef eye round roast
Salt and ground black pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons minced garlic
1 bunch parsley, leaves only
1/2 bunch fresh thyme, leaves only
8 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves only
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves only
2 tablespoons mustard powder

Horseradish Cream Ingredients


1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt

(In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve)

Cooking Directions

Preheat oven to 350*

Season roast well with salt and pepper. In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil. When hot, sear roast on all sides, until nicely caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove roast to a sheet tray lined with a wire rack.

Meanwhile, place garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano, rosemary, mustard powder, 1/2 cup oil, salt and pepper to taste, in a food processor and pulse until mixture forms a paste.

Rub paste all over roast. Bake in the oven until the roast is cooked to medium-rare or registers 125* on an instant-red thermometer, about 45 minutes.

Let roast rest 10 minutes before slicing and serve with horseradish cream!

Super easy recipe, looks more difficult than it actually is!

Hope it's a family favorite!
