Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. To prepare the Pesto Dressing, combine rosemary, oil, lemon juice, garlic and mustard in blender container. Cover; process 1 minute or until smooth, scraping sides of container as needed. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; cover remaining dressing and set aside. Season beef roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper; coat roast with reserved 1/4 cup Pesto Dressing. Place roast, fat-side up, in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of beef, not resting in fat. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 425°F oven 30 to 40 minutes for medium rare; 40 to 50 minutes for medium doneness.
