Instructions:

Mustard roast beef with aioli FAQ:
Roast the beef for about 20 minutes per pound in a preheated oven. For a 2 lb roast, this will be approximately 40 minutes for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
The best way to check if the roast is done is by using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Allow for an additional few degrees as the beef continues to cook while resting.
Store leftover roast beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The aioli can also be stored in the fridge for the same duration. Make sure to consume them within this timeframe for best quality and safety.
Yes, you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor. You could also use fresh herbs like parsley or dill instead of chives for a different taste.
If the roast ends up tough, it may have been overcooked or not rested long enough. Always ensure the meat is cooked to the appropriate internal temperature and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to maintain tenderness.
Tips:
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure your beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Medium-rare is typically recommended for roast beef.
- Let the beef rest for at least 10-15 minutes after roasting before slicing. This helps retain the juices and keeps the meat tender.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of mustard and tarragon based on your taste preference. If you like a stronger mustard flavor, add an extra tablespoon.
- When making the aioli, whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy for the best texture.
