Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine all of the spices and garlic in a small bowl along with the olive oil. Coat the beef with the herb and garlic mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
- Place the roast on a wire rack inside a shallow baking dish or use a roasting pan with a wire rack. Sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees F.
- Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast an additional 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes or until medium rare (125- to 130°F) doneness.
- Remove from the oven and tent with tin foil for 15 minutes. Slice into thin pieces.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook stirring every few minutes to prevent them from sticking and coloring too much in any one place, until blonde-colored, 15–20 minutes.
- Place the goat cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil and half the parsley and a pinch of salt into a mixer and mix on medium for 3-4 minutes until whipped.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lay the slices flat on oiled cookie sheet. Pour the 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a small dish.
- Brush the top of each crostini with olive oil. Bake the crostini for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread a layer of goat cheese on each crostini. Top the goat cheese with the onions and then the sliced roast beef. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve!
Notes
- If you have leftover roast beef you can save time and make these without having to cook the roast beef.
