Garlic Rosemary Roast Beef With Horseradish Sauce

The eye of round is a lean, boneless cut of beef that's less expensive than a tenderloin or rib roast but just as delicious. It's best served medium-rare—when cooked to higher temperatures it can become tough. Topping it with a finger-licking-good horseradish sauce makes this roast beef holiday-worthy.

Ingredients

3 pounds boneless beef eye of round roast

1 teaspoon salt, divided

¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

1 shallot, minced ( ¼ cup)

2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary

3 cloves garlic, minced, plus 1 clove grated, divided

1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Preparation

Prep: 50 m; Ready In:1 h

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Season roast with ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet (see Tip) over medium-high heat. Add the roast and cook, turning every few minutes, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. Combine butter, shallot, rosemary, and minced garlic; spread on top of the roast. Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until a thermometer inserted in the center of the meat registers 125-130°F for medium-rare, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, whisk grated garlic, yogurt, horseradish, mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Slice the beef thinly and serve with the sauce.

Tip: If you don't have a large ovenproof skillet, you can brown the roast in a large skillet and transfer it to a roasting pan for Step 3.

To make ahead: Season roast with salt and pepper; refrigerate for up to 1 day. Prepare butter mixture (Step 3) and sauce (Step 4) and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
