Beef Orloff
Ingredients
- 2 lb (900 g) beef top-round / sirloin roast
- Salt and black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 8 thin slices Swiss or Gruyère cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine or extra broth
- 1 tbsp butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the roast dry and season all over with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 2–3 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add butter, onions, and mushrooms. Cook 4–5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Stir in beef broth and wine, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Let simmer 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Slice the roast horizontally nearly through (like a thick book), creating two layers without cutting all the way.
- Spread Dijon mustard on the inside surfaces of the cut roast.
- Layer half of the mushroom-onion mixture inside the roast, then place 4 slices of cheese over it. Close the roast, then spread the remaining mushroom mixture on top.
- Arrange the remaining cheese slices over the top of the roast.
- Pour the pan juices around (not over) the top, then roast in the oven 25–35 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C) for medium or to your preferred doneness.
- Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve with pan juices spooned over.
