Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef roast (ribeye, sirloin, or top round)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the beef roast on a wire rack set inside a roasting pan.

Step 2

Rub the beef with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with kosher salt and black pepper, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Brush the top and sides of the beef roast with Dijon mustard, creating an even layer. This will help the breadcrumb mixture adhere to the roast.

Step 5

Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the mustard-coated surface of the beef roast, forming a crust. Make sure the crust is evenly applied and adheres well to the sides.

Step 6

Transfer the roast to the preheated oven and cook for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or your preferred level of doneness.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Slice the roast into thin pieces and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
