Sesame Pepper-Crusted Beef Roast is a delicious and hearty beef recipe. This dish is made by creating a flavorful crust made with sesame seeds and black peppercorns covering a beef eye round which is then seared and roasted in the oven to perfection. The result is a juicy and tender beef roast. Before cooking, garlic is rubbed on the beef to add more flavor. Although this dish requires some skill to make sure the beef is not tough, it's definitely worth the effort for a flavorful and satisfying dinner.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2.	Cut 3 garlic cloves in half and rub all over beef eye round.
3.	In a medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon coarsely crushed whole black peppercorn.
4.	Rub mix over beef until it's fully coated.
5.	Heat a tablespoon of oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat until hot. Place the beef in the skillet and sear until golden-brown on all sides, around 6 to 8 minutes.
6.	Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the beef for around 25 to 30 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
7.	Remove from the oven and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing it thinly and serving.
