Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place half the prosciutto slices in a row, side-by-side and slightly overlapping, to create a rectangle. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto slices, slightly overlapping, at the long side of the first rectangle.
Finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, then transfer them to a small bowl. Add the pesto to the small bowl and mix thoroughly.
Generously season the roast with Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper. Evenly, and carefully, spread the Barilla Genovese Pesto and sun-dried tomato mix over the entire roast.
Place the beef on the prosciutto. Roll up to enclose the beef. Place the beef, seam-side down, in a roasting pan. If desired, use butcher's string to tightly secure the prosciutto to the roast. Tent the roast with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Roast for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to roast for an additional 25 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. If using a meat thermometer, it should read 140F.*
Transfer to a plate. Cover with foil. Set aside for 10 minutes to rest. Top with fresh basil.

Season it like you mean it. What takes this from basic to bomb is being generous with your salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and that pesto rub. Do NOT hold back y'all.
Even out the roast if needed. If your cut is thicker on one end, tie it up with butcher's twine so it cooks more evenly. You can ask the butcher to do it for you too.
Slide in that meat thermometer the right way. Don't let it hit bone or big streaks of fat or you'll get a false read. It might take a couple tries to get the hang of it.
Check the temp and roast to your liking. For a prosciutto wrapped filet or ribeye, 130-140F gives you medium-rare, 140-150F is medium, 150-155F is medium-well, and 160-165F is well-done.

How to Store & Reheat this Prosciutto Wrapped Beef Roast

Fridge: Store your roast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Glass containers work best to keep the flavors locked in!
Freezer: Let the roast cool all the way down first, then pop it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It will keep in the freezer for 3 months.
Reheating: Roasts can dry out fast if you rush it. Place the roast on a wire rack over a baking sheet and warm it in the oven at 250°F until it hits 120°F inside. Could take anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the size. Finish it off by searing each side in a hot, oiled skillet for about a minute to bring back that crust.
