Pepper-Coated Roast Beef with Red Pepper-Basil Butter

Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Ingredients

Beef
• One 4-lb eye-round beef roast
• ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
• 3 Tbsp coarsely ground mixed peppercorns or black peppercorns

Red Pepper Butter
• 6 Tbsp butter, softened
• ¼ cup bottled roasted red peppers, dried on paper towels, then minced
• 1½ Tbsp minced fresh basil or 1 tsp dried
• 1½ Tbsp minced fresh parsley

Directions

To make the Beef: Heat oven to 425°F. Set a wire rack into a shallow roasting pan.

Rub roast with mustard; sprinkle with pepper. Place on rack in pan.

Roast 45 to 55 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in center registers 145°F. Remove roast to carving board, cover loosely with foil and let rest about 10 minutes. (Temperature will rise about 5 degrees to 150°F for medium rare.)

To make the Red Pepper Butter: Beat butter in a small bowl with a wooden spoon until fluffy. Stir in remaining ingredients.

To serve: Thinly slice roast beef and arrange on a platter. Serve with the flavored butter to spread over the meat.
