Ingredients
- 1 eye of round beef or rib roast (about 4 lbs.)

- 1 Tbsp. Champagne or white wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Instructions
- Place beef on large sheet plastic wrap; sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, patting to adhere. Wrap tightly; refrigerate overnight.

- Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet on medium, cook shallots, rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon salt in 2 teaspoon oil 5 minutes or until shallots are golden, stirring often. Remove from heat. Add vinegar, scraping up any browned bits, then stir in mustard. Let mixture cool before stirring into sour cream. Cover and refrigerate.
- In 12-inch skillet on medium-high, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Pat beef dry. Add to skillet. Cook on all sides just until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine basil and parsley; pat all over beef. Let stand at least 20 minutes before very thinly slicing. Serve with cream sauce.
