About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Low oven, then rest, then a hot blast: the reverse-sear method gives edge-to-edge pink with almost no gray band.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    1–3 days ahead, salt the roast all over and refrigerate uncovered.

  2. 02

    Take out 2 hours before. Heat oven to 225°F. Rub with pepper and garlic butter.

  3. 03

    Roast bone-side down until the center reads 120°F for medium-rare, about 3–4 hours.

  4. 04

    Rest 30 minutes tented. Meanwhile heat oven to 500°F.

  5. 05

    Return roast 8–10 minutes until well browned. Carve off the bones and slice.

  6. 06

    Stir together horseradish cream and serve.
