Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Roast Beef:
1 3-pound eye of round beef roast, trimmed of excess fat and sinew
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
2 cups low-salt beef broth
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons drained capers

Steps:

  • For roast beef:
  • Sprinkle beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix thyme, basil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Heat oil in large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook until browned on all sides, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with herb mixture. Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 130°F, about 40 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; let rest.
  • For sauce:
  • Place skillet with juices over medium-high heat. Add butter; stir until melted. Add flour; whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in broth; bring to boil. Boil until sauce is reduced to 1 1/4 cups, whisking often, about 6 minutes. Whisk in mustard and capers. Season sauce with pepper.
  • Cut beef crosswise into very thin slices. Transfer beef to platter. Serve with sauce.
  • Test-kitchen tip:
  • Eye of round is not the most tender cut of beef. For the best flavor and texture, be sure to slice it very thinly.
  • What to drink:
  • With the beef, pour a full-bodied Syrah blend. One to try: Château de Jau 2007 "Le Jaja de Jau" ($11).

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but the roast beef itself was delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the roast beef turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This roast beef recipe is a keeper! The Dijon caper sauce is the perfect complement to the tender and juicy beef. I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a hit with my family.
