Ingredients

3-4 pound Beef Top Round Roast (you will need about 1 pound Roast beef thinly sliced for the crostini)
2 teaspoon oregano (chopped)
2 teaspoons rosemary (chopped)
1 teaspoon thyme (chopped)
3 teaspoons parsley (chopped)
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 yellow onions (thinly sliced)
5 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 French baguette ({approx. 12 inches long})
4 ounces goat cheese (crumbled or a block which you can cut into chunks (let sit out for 10 minutes to soften)
1/4 cup parsley (chopped, separated)

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
2
Combine all of the spices and garlic in a small bowl along with the olive oil. Coat the beef with the herb and garlic mixture, making sure to coat both sides.
3
Place the roast on a wire rack inside a shallow baking dish or use a roasting pan with a wire rack. Sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees F.
4
Reduce temperature to 325°F and roast an additional 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes or until medium rare (125- to 130°F) doneness.
5
Remove from the oven and tent with tin foil for 15 minutes. Slice into thin pieces.
6
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
7
Add the sliced onions and cook stirring every few minutes to prevent them from sticking and coloring too much in any one place, until blonde-colored, 15–20 minutes.
8
Place the goat cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil and half the parsley and a pinch of salt into a mixer and mix on medium for 3-4 minutes until whipped.
9
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
10
Arrange the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lay the slices flat on oiled cookie sheet. Pour the 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a small dish.
11
Brush the top of each crostini with olive oil. Bake the crostini for 4-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread a layer of goat cheese on each crostini. Top the goat cheese with the onions and then the sliced roast beef. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve!

Notes

If you have leftover roast beef you can save time and make these without having to cook the roast beef. You also could buy already cooked roast beef at the store.
