Herb-Crusted Beef Roast with Horseradish-Chive Sauce

Herb Crusted Beef Roast with Horseradish Chive Sauce

A wonderful Herb-Crusted Beef Roast with Horseradish-Chive Sauce recipe. Roast beef doesn’t have to be boring, dry and tasteless. You will love this simple herb rub on a beef roast for a flavorful dinner that will have you coming back for second helpings. Today we’re taking a look at a simple herb rub and how to bake a perfect roast. Normally, I throw roast beef into the slow cooker. It’s simple. It cooks to fork-tender perfection. But I’ve actually met people who prefer their roasts baked in the oven so I’ve been reading up and trying new techniques. There’s always something to learn in the kitchen!

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 beef round (sirloin) tip center roast (2 to 2-1/2 pounds)

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • salt

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup dairy sour cream or greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup prepared horseradish
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 325F. Combine parsley, thyme, oil, garlic and black pepper; press evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast.
  2. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 325F oven 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours for medium rare doneness.
  3. Meanwhile combine sauce ingredients in small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
  4. Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 140F for medium rare. (Do not overcook.)
  5. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 5F to reach 145F for medium rare.)
  6. Carve roast into thin slices; season with salt, as desired. Serve with sauce.
