Herb-Crusted Roast Beef with Red Wine Gravy

Herb-Crusted Roast Beef with Red Wine Gravy is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any special occasion. This dish is made with a succulent beef roast that is coated in a flavorful herb crust and served with a rich and savory red wine gravy.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 (3-4 pound) beef roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef roast, making sure to coat it evenly.
Place the beef roast in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F for medium-rare. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
While the beef roast is cooking, you can make the red wine gravy. In a saucepan, combine the red wine and beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it has reduced by half. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the red wine mixture, whisking constantly, until the gravy is smooth and thickened.
To serve, slice the beef roast and drizzle the red wine gravy over the top. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy family dinner. The herb crust adds a delicious flavor to the beef, while the red wine gravy is rich and savory.
