Ingredients

• 3 to 4 pounds beef roast (such as ribeye or sirloin)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup horseradish sauce
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey

How to Make Herb-Crusted Roast Beef with Sauces

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create a herb paste.
3. Rub the herb mixture all over the beef roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
4. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, and surround it with the carrot sticks.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to sear the outside.
6. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue roasting for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
7. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
8. While the roast is resting, prepare the dipping sauces by mixing sour cream and horseradish sauce in one bowl, and combining balsamic vinegar and honey in another.
9. Slice the roast beef and serve it with the carrot sticks and dipping sauces.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the roast to avoid overcooking.
• Letting the roast rest is crucial for juicy, tender slices.

Easy Variations

• For a spicier kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the herb mixture.
• Swap out the carrots for other vegetables, like Brussels sprouts or asparagus.
• Experiment with different herbs like oregano or basil for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes for a classic pairing.
• A fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the beef.
• Roasted potatoes seasoned with herbs for a comforting side.
• Crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauces.
