Rolled Beef Rib Roast With Horseradish Cream Recipes

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.

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.
