Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 4 lbs beef rib eye roast or 4 lbs rolled rib roast or 4 lbs standing rib roast
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
• 2 -3 teaspoons horseradish
• 1 garlic clove, mincecd

Recipe

• 1 take your roast out of the fridge and let it sit for an hour or 2 to come down to room temperature. this will help the fibers in the meat relax and is key to a tender moist end result.
• 2 preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• 3 pat the roast dry with paper towels to get off extra moisture.
• 4 mix butter, mustard, horseradish and garlic together then smear all over your roast. it will be a little thick and goopy but it gives it great flavor.
• 5 place the roast fat side up and or bone side down (so the fat juices will run down into the meat while cooking) into a shallow baking pan. i use a cooling rack placed into the pan then put the roast on top of that so that the roast is up off the bottom of the pan.
• 6 don’t add water or cover the roast and once the roast is in the oven try not to open the door unless you absolutely have to.
• 7 insert a meat thermometer and place into the preheated oven.
• 8 cook uncovered for 15 minutes then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees.
• 9 cook until the meat thermometer reaches 135 degrees for medium rare.
• 10 remove from oven, place meat on cutting board and place foil over the roast. dont cut into the meat!and dont take the thermometer out or it will release juices and you will ruin your tasty expensive dinner.
• 11 let it sit for at least 15 minutes under the foil. the temperate of the roast will continue to rise and cook the roast. i have let mine sit for 45 minutes before while i am finishing up the rest of the meal and it comes out perfect.
• 12 if you want au jus sauce then just pour the drippings into a glass measureing cup wait for the fat to rise to the surface and skim the fat off.
• 13 place the same roasting pan over the top of the stove and add 2 cups of water or beef broth.
• 14 bring to a boil while scrapping the bottom of the pan to get all the good crusty bits off the bottom of the pan.
• 15 stir in the pan drippings from the glass measuring cup and stir until bubbly.
• 16 taste and add salt/ pepper or beef bouillon granules if needed for added flavor.
• 17 serve this over sliced roast.
