Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix bread crumbs, olive oil, garlic, ground mustard, savory, black pepper, and rosemary in a bowl; spread mixture over beef chuck roast. Transfer roast to a shallow roasting pan.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven until beef begins to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Allow roast to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 4

Stir sour cream, horseradish, lemon juice, and salt in another bowl. Serve with sliced beef.
