4.Evenly spread mustard mixture over beef roast; with hands, evenly press crumbs onto beef roast over mustard mixture. Place roast on top of onions. Roast beef 5 hours or until internal temperature reaches 135° for medium-rare. (Internal temperature will rise 5 to 10° upon standing.) Let stand 20 minutes before slicing.

5.Prepare Red Wine Gravy: In small saucepot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth and wine; cook 5 minutes or until gravy thickens, stirring occasionally.
