Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef eye of round roast
• 1 tablespoon 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
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form a paste.

Step 3

Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. This helps the herb mixture adhere better and aids in browning.

Step 4

Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef roast.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, ensuring it does not touch fat or bone.

Step 7

Roast the beef in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, about 90 minutes. Adjust the time accordingly if you prefer a different doneness.

Step 8

Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the roast from the oven, cover it loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Resting ensures the juices are distributed throughout the meat, making it tender and flavorful.

Step 9

Slice the beef thinly against the grain and serve immediately.
