Roast Beef

ROAST BEEF

 

This is one of my "go to" dishes.  I saw Ina Garten make this on the food network & I just had to try it. It always turns out DELICIOUS !!  When I put this on our menu, my entire family is happy!

 

1 beef filet (you usually have to ask at the meat counter for
a filet, they don't just have it sitting out)

1 Tablespoon butter at room temperature

1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons pepper

 

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.  Place beef in a cake pan or cookie sheet & pat dry.  Mix the butter and mustard together.  Spread the mixture over the beef with your hands.  Combine the salt and pepper.  Sprinkle the salt and pepper mixture evenly over the beef.  Roast, uncovered, in the oven for 20-25 minutes.  Remove from the oven & cover with foil.  Let it rest for 20 minutes.  Slice the meat thinly for sandwiches.  I buy bread from the local bread shop and then I top it with honey mustard, lettuce, onion, pickle, etc.
