Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Brush olive oil in the bottom of 9X13 pan.
- Coat the roast in the Dijon.
- Mix spice blend and sprinkle all over the Dijon coated roast.
- Place roast into preheated oven and roast for five minutes per pound. Our roast was four pounds, so we roasted for 20 minutes.
- Without opening the oven, shut off heat and let the roast sit in the oven for two hours. Again, do not open the oven door until the two hours are up.
- Remove from oven and let sit ten minutes before slicing.
- With a sharp slicing knife, slice thin slices of roast beef against the grain for sandwiches.
- Lay slices of roast beef on bread and slather with mayonnaise/horseradish sauce.
