Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast the Beef

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the beef roast with salt and pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and roast for about 1.5 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and thyme. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Make the Parsley Fries

    While the beef and mushrooms are cooking, cut the potatoes into fries and soak them in water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry. In a deep fryer or large pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and toss with chopped parsley and salt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Melt

    On a slice of bread (or open-faced), layer sliced roast beef, sautéed mushrooms, a generous spoonful of tapenade, and top with Toma cheese. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the roast beef and mushroom melt hot with a side of parsley fries and a dollop of aioli.
