Instructions

1
Make roast: Using a small, sharp knife, make slits all over beef roast and insert a piece of garlic deeply into each slit, so meat closes over garlic. In a small bowl, combine chopped thyme, mustard, onion powder, salt, pepper and olive oil. Rub mixture all over meat, place roast on a plate and refrigerate uncovered for 8 hours or overnight.
