Ingredients

Directions

  1. Tie the roast at 2-inch intervals with heavy string to help it hold its shape during cooking.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the roast on all sides, about 8-10 minutes total.
  4. Pour off any excess fat drippings from the pot.
  5. Add water, beef broth, white wine, garlic, thyme, and black pepper to the pot.
  6. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the roast to a serving platter and reserve the cooking liquid.
  8. Cover the roast tightly with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  9. While the meat rests, skim fat from the surface of the reserved poaching liquid.
  10. In a small saucepan, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of the hot poaching liquid to create a smooth slurry.
  11. Add the remaining poaching liquid, Dijon mustard, and chopped parsley to the saucepan.
  12. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is clear and slightly thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  13. Remove the string from the roast and carve into thin slices.
  14. Serve the sliced roast topped with the warm mustard sauce.
