1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
1/4 cup fresh breadcrumbs

1/4 cup coarse grain mustard
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 None boneless beef roast (about 2 1/4 lbs)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Wrap beets in foil. Place in a large roasting pan. Bake for 30 mins. Remove from oven. Cool slightly. Peel and cut into wedges.
Place beets, squash and onion in pan. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of the oil.

Heat remaining 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Cook and turn beef for 2-3 mins or until seared (reserve oil in pan). Place beef on vegetables in pan. Add half the reserved oil from pan to breadcrumb mixture; mix well. Spread breadcrumb mixture evenly over top of beef. Drizzle with remaining oil from pan.
Bake for 30-35 mins for medium or until cooked to desired doneness. Remove beef from oven; transfer to a large heatproof platter. Cover loosely with foil; let stand for 5 mins.
Bake vegetables for 10 mins more or until tender. Remove from oven. Add spinach to pan; season with salt. Slice beef. Serve with vegetables.
