Ingredients

• 4 pounds Top round roast beef
• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 5 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Pat the roast beef dry with paper towels and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Mix in 3 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika to form a paste.

Step 4

Rub the herb mixture all over the roast beef, ensuring an even coating on all sides.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, toss the potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes) with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 6

Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the beef in a large roasting pan.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes for a crispy and cheesy crust.

Step 8

Place the roasting pan in the oven and cook at 450°F (230°C) for 15 minutes to sear the beef.

Step 9

Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue cooking for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.

Step 10

Remove the roast beef from the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 11

While the meat is resting, return the potatoes to the oven if they need more crisping. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes if necessary.

Step 12

Slice the roast beef thinly and serve alongside the roasted Parmesan potatoes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
