Horseradish-Crusted Rib Roast

Ingredients

2 tablespoons Oil

2 pounds Rib roast - (4-rib section)

Salt to taste

Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard

1 cup Finely-grated fresh horseradish root

1 cup Reduced beef stock (jus)

2 tablespoons Chopped parsley for garnish

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large skillet heat oil until very hot. Generously season rib roast and sear on all sides. Remove to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Brush roast with mustard (mustard will make horseradish adhere). Carefully pack horseradish all over top part of roast to form a crust. Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan and roast 25 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 150 degrees on an instant-reading thermometer. Remove

To serve, pour any juices that have accumulated on board into a small saucepan with beef stock and reheat. Carve roast into 4 ribs and spoon sauce over. Garnish with parsley.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
