Rib Roast Of Beef With Beets Potatoes And Horseradish Recipes

ROAST PRIME RIB OF BEEF WITH HORSERADISH CRUST

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

RIB ROAST OF BEEF WITH BEETS, POTATOES, AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic in a mortar, along with 1/4 cup rosemary leaves, anchovy, and lemon zest; mash together with a pestle. Add olive oil and rub mixture all over beef. Place onions, carrots, and rosemary sprigs in the bottom of a large roasting pan and season with salt and pepper; place beef on top of vegetables. Roast for 2 1/2 hours or continue roasting until meat has reached desired degree of doneness. Transfer beef to a platter and let stand 30 minutes.
• Drain all but about 1 tablespoon fat from roasting pan. Place roasting pan over medium heat and add flour and 1/2 cup water. Using a potato masher, mash carrots and onions into the flour and water, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan as you mash. Strain gravy through a fine mesh sieve set over a bowl; discard solids.
