Servings: 5 - 6 people
Ingredients
- 3 lb Top Round Roast or Top Sirloin Roast*
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450F.
- Season the roast with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together mustard and crushed garlic. Rub the roast with the garlic-mustard mixture.
- Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan and place in the oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, reduce the heat to 325F and continue roasting for an additional 35-45 minutes, until an insta-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads 120-125F. (This will give you a medium rare ending roast.)
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. After resting, the internal temperature should read around 135F.
- Carve and serve immediately.
Notes
*If your roast has been refrigerated, let it come to room temperature on the counter, covered, for 1 hour before roasting.
