Sam Arnolds Cross Rib Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the roast from the refrigerator 2 or 3 hours before cooking.
• Preheat oven to 450.
• Rub butter on the cut ends of the roast.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl, and then massage the mixture all over the meat.
• Set the roast, rib side down, in a shallow roasting pan (the ribs act as a natural rack), and place in the oven. Roast for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the roast is nicely darkened. Reduce oven to 350 and continue to roast, basting every 15 or 20 minutes, until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 125 degrees (for medium-rare) on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes before carving into either huge slabs or off the bone entirely and then thin slices.

Steps:

• Brown the vegetables in the melted butter.
• Remove the vegetables and raise the heat to sear the meat on both sides (do not pierce with fork when turning) in the pot.
• Put the browned vegetables with the olives and chopped tomatoes in th bottom of a large casserole or stock pot.
• Place the beef on top.
• Pour stock and/or red wine over, then add herbs.
• Cover and place in moderate oven for about 2 hours or until the meat is tender.
• Check during the last hour and add liquid if needed.
• Remove the meat and vegetables to a warm platter.
• Strain juices through a coarse sieve, forcing through as much vegetable pulp as possible.
• This gravy should not need any additional thickening.

Steps:

• Brush roast with balsamic vinegar.
• Make a paste with remaining ingredients and apply to meat.
• Roast meat at 450 for 15 minutes Reduce heat to 350 and cook for 40 o 60 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 125.
• Remove from oven; cover loosely with foil and let stand 15 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place the roast into a roasting pan. In a bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, 10 cloves of garlic, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, dry mustard powder, olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of paprika into a paste. Spread the paste over the top and sides of the roast. Pour the water and red wine into the roasting pan, and sprinkle in the dry onion soup mix. Drop in the beef bouillon cubes. Sprinkle the top of the roast generously with more paprika and 3 more crushed cloves of garlic. Cover the roast with aluminum foil.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, and reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roast until the meat is tender, about 2 more hours, basting occasionally with pan liquid. Remove foil during last 30 minutes of roasting to help brown the meat. Remove roast to a platter.
• Place roasting pan over medium heat, and bring the liquid to a simmer. Scrape up and dissolve any brown flavor bits from the bottom of the pan into the liquid. Stir the golden mushroom soup into the pan drippings until the gravy is smooth and thickened. To serve, slice the roast, pour hot gravy over the slices, and serve with remaining gravy.
