Roast beef is a classic dish that is perfect for special occasions and holiday gatherings. This recipe has a delicious crust made from breadcrumbs, garlic, and herbs that adds a crispy texture to the tender beef. The Dijon cream sauce is a tangy and creamy complement that is easy to make and elevates the dish. Leftover roast beef can be sliced thinly for sandwiches or used as a salad topping. When selecting the cut of beef, choose a boneless loin, strip, or top sirloin roast that is about 5 pounds. A meat thermometer is recommended to check for the internal temperature for doneness.

HEALTH & BENEFITS
