Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°. Set a rack in a large, deep roasting pan and place the beef roast on the rack.

Step 2

In a small bowl, blend the horseradish with the salt, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, ground pepper, sugar and sherry vinegar to form a paste. Slather the paste all over the top and sides of the meat. Roast in the lower third of the oven for about 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 125°. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

Discard the string and thinly slice the roast beef across the grain. Transfer the meat to a platter and serve.
