2 to 3 T Dijon-style mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
6 slices bacon
4 medium onions, cut into wedges
Cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges, for garnish (optional)
Recipe
Cut a few slits on top of roast for bacon drippings to penetrate the
meat. Spread mustard evenly over top and sides of roast. Sprinkle with
thyme leaves. Place roast on rack in baking pan. Cover tightly with
bacon slices, wrapping them around meat.Bake meat at 325 F until a meat
thermometer, if used, registers 160 F for medium rare. Cooking time is
about 1-3/4 hrs. Check for doneness with a fork, if thermometer is not
used. Juices should run slightly pink for medium rare. Add onions 40
mins before roast is expected to be ready.
Remove roast to carving board. Let rest, covered, for at least 15 mins
before slicing. Slice meat into even slices. Serve with onions, bacon
slices, if desired, and a gravy made from pan drippings. Bacon gets
crispy when cooking with roast. Garnish with cherry tomatoes or tomato
wedges, if desired.Makes 4 to 5 servings.Per serving: 479 cal., 41.3 g
