Roast Beef
Ingredients
1 (6-lb.) bottom round roast
1 (2-oz.) can anchovy fillets, drained and patted dry
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tsp. grated garlic (from 3 large garlic
cloves)
1 1/2 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
Let meat warm up:
Let roast rest at room temperature 2 hours.
Create anchovy fillet paste:
Preheat oven to 225°F. Place anchovy fillets on a cutting
board, and finely chop. Using flat side of a large knife, drag knife back and
forth over anchovies to form a paste.
Make rub for roast:
Transfer anchovy paste to a small bowl, and stir in mustard,
oil, rosemary, and garlic until thoroughly combined.
Season roast:
Sprinkle roast all over with salt and pepper, pressing to
adhere.
Add mustard mixture:
Rub mustard mixture all over roast. Place roast, fat side
up, on a broiler-safe wire rack placed inside a broiler-safe rimmed baking
sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Roast the beef:
Bake in preheated oven until a thermometer inserted into
thickest portion of roast registers 110°F, 2 hours, 20 minutes to 2 hours, 50
minutes.

Broil the beef:
Remove roast from oven. Increase oven temperature to broil;
preheat for 5 minutes. Return roast to oven on middle rack; broil until mustard
mixture is browned, about 4 minutes.
Rest, then slice:
Transfer roast to a cutting board, and loosely cover with
aluminum foil. Let rest 20 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise to 130°F
[medium-rare])
Thinly slice roast against the grain, and serve immediately.
To make slicing easier, cut roast in half crosswise before slicing.
