SERVINGS: 6-8
CATEGORY: Main Dish
METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 5 min. Bake: 3 hours
Ingredients:
- 1 semi-boneless beef rib roast (4 to 6 pounds)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 to 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
- HORSERADISH SAUCE:
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
- 3 to 4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
Brush roast with oil; rub with pepper. Place roast, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325°. Bake for 2-3/4 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), basting with pan drippings every 30 minutes. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Serve with beef. Yield: 6-8 servings.
