Savory Beef Roast Wrapped in Flaky Brioche Bread

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 Fahrenheit).
2. Season the beef roast evenly with salt and ground black pepper on all sides.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add unsalted butter.
4. Add the minced garlic clove and fresh thyme leaves to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Sear the beef roast in the skillet on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
6. Remove the beef roast from the skillet and let it cool slightly.
7. Roll out the brioche bread dough on a floured surface into a rectangle large enough to wrap the beef roast.
8. Place the cooled beef roast in the center of the dough.
9. Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg yolk to help seal.
10. Wrap the dough around the beef roast, pressing edges to seal completely.
11. Place the wrapped beef roast seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
12. Brush the entire surface of the dough with the remaining beaten egg yolk for a golden finish.
13. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the brioche is golden brown and cooked through.
14. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
