   Combine parsley, thyme, oil, garlic and black pepper; press evenly onto all surfaces of beef roast.

4. 4

   Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan.

   Roast in 325°F oven 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours for medium rare, but watch it CLOSELY. I strongly recommend using a meat thermometer with this one.
