Herbed Rib Roast With Horseradish Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the beef in a large roasting pan with the bone side down. (The ribs act as a natural roasting rack.) In a small bowl mash together the garlic, horseradish, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil to make a paste. Massage the paste generously over the entire roast. Put the pan in the oven and roast the beef until the internal temperature of the meat registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer (medium-rare), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove the beef to a carving board and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving.
• Pour off some of the pan drippings and place pan on stovetop over medium-high heat.
• Add the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping the bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce the wine by half. Whisk in the flour, then add the broth and continue to cook, whisking until sauce thickens into a gravy, about 10 minutes.
• Serve with Scalloped Potato Gratin and Roasted Red Onions.
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Butter
• 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for broiling
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a saucepan, heat up the cream with a sprig of thyme, chopped garlic and nutmeg.
• While cream is heating up, butter a flameproof casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over the potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Sprinkle some more Parmesan and broil until cheese browns, about 5 minutes.
• Yield: 4 to 6 servings
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 bunch fresh thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 red onions, halved
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Place the onions, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking pan. Drizzle the butter-vinegar mixture over and roast until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes.
• Yield: 6 servings

Steps:

• Special Equipment: food processor
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season roast well with salt and pepper. In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil. When hot, sear roast on all sides, until nicely caramelized, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove roast to a sheet tray lined with a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, place garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano, rosemary, mustard powder, 1/2 cup oil, salt and pepper, to taste, in a food processor and pulse until mixture forms a paste.
• Rub paste all over roast. Bake in the oven until the roast is cooked to medium-rare or registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 minutes.
• Let roast rest 10 minutes before slicing and serve with Horseradish Cream.
• Horseradish Cream:
• In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Yield: 1/2 cup

Steps:

• To select your roast:.
• Selecting the proper grade is essential; Look for a USDA choice grade rib roast or a brand name rib roast (such as "Certified Angus") in the supermarket meat case; or ask your butcher to specify the "small end" of the rib roast - the most tender part.
• Preparation of Rib Roast:.
• Arrange oven rack in lower third of oven; Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Trim beef rib roast of excess fat, leaving a thin layer.
• Rub the roast with salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Arrange roast, rib bones down, in a shallow roasting pan; (Do not add water or cover pan); insert an oven-safe meat thermometer in thickest part of the roast, not resting in fat or touching the bone (this will stay in the entire roasting time).
• Roast 2 hours 15 minutes, or until the meat thermometer's temperature reaches 130 degress F.
• Transfer roast to a carving board, and tent loosely with foil; let stand 15 minutes (temperature will continue to rise to reach 135 degrees F).
• Zesty Horseradish Cream:.
• While roast is resting combine all ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate until serving time.
• To Carve Your Roast:.
• To begin, place the roast on it's larger side on a cutting board, the bones will be towards your stomach; You may need to trim the bottom side (the one that is now resting on the cutting board) to ensure that it lies flat on the cutting board.
• To carve the first slice, insert a meat fork, tines facing downwards, below the top rib bone, in front of your stomach; make a horizontal cut from the opposite side towards your stomach/fork/bone (across the top).
• Now cut along the rib bone, from the top (not the rib bone side), to release the meat from the bone.
• Slide the knife back under the slice, steady it with the fork, and lift it onto your serving platter.
• Repeat for each slice, and serve with a dollop of horseradish cream.

Steps:

• Prepare roast:
• Trim all but a thin layer of fat from roast. Grind peppercorns and bay leaves with salt to a powder in an electric coffee/spice grinder, then transfer to a mortar. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary, then pound to a smooth paste with pestle. Stir in oil. Rub paste all over roast. Transfer roast to a rack set in a small flameproof roasting pan. Marinate, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours.
• Cook roast:
• Let roast stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Roast beef in middle of oven 20 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F and roast beef until a thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours more. Transfer beef to a large platter and let stand, uncovered, 25 minutes. (Meat will continue to cook, reaching about 130°F for medium-rare.)
• Make jus:
• Skim fat from pan juices. Add broth, rosemary, thyme, and garlic and deglaze pan by simmering on top of stove over moderate heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Transfer to a small saucepan and add any juices that have collected on platter. Gently simmer 10 minutes. Skim fat and season jus with salt and pepper.
• Put slices from roast and serve with jus.

Steps:

• Let the beef roast stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• In a nonreactive bowl, combine the heavy cream and sour cream and whisk until smooth.
• Add the lemon juice, salt, pepper and horseradish and whisk until blended.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Position a rack in the bottom of an oven and preheat to 350°F.
• In a small sauté pan over medium heat, warm 2 Tbs of the olive oil.
• Add the garlic and fry, stirring constantly, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and immediately skim the garlic from the oil, reserving the garlic.
• Season the beef generously with salt and pepper and rub the fried garlic over the roast.
• Set the beef on a rack in a roasting pan and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 125°F for very rare to rare, 1 3/4 to 2 hours; or 130°F to 135°F for medium-rare to medium, 2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours.
• Transfer the roast to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
• (The roast will continue to cook as it rests, so you can remove it from the oven 3 to 4 degrees below the desired temperature). Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 Tbs oil.
• Add the carrots, celery and leek, and sauté until tender and golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add 4 cups of the stock and the thyme sprigs, bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low.
• Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 1 hour.
• After removing the roast from the pan, set the pan over medium heat, pour in the remaining 1 cup stock and whisk to scrape up any browned bits.
• Pour the pan juices into the simmering broth, add the chopped thyme and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl.
• Skim the fat, adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper, and transfer to a sauceboat or pitcher.
• Carve the beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices and pass the sauce and the horseradish cream alongside.
