Lunch: Stupid-Simple Roast Beef with Horseradish Cream

This is the best roast beef recipe ever; just plan on a few days of salt-curing.

Ingredients

1 c. kosher salt
1 tbsp. kosher salt
1 top round beef roast
1 tbsp. Freshly ground pepper
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. prepared horseradish

Instructions

Set a rack over a baking sheet. Rub 1/2 cup of the salt all over the roast and let stand for 10 minutes. Repeat with another 1/2 cup of the salt. Transfer the roast to the rack and refrigerate uncovered for 2 days. Bring to room temperature 3 hours before roasting.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season the meat with pepper and roast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 225 degrees F and roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes longer, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 120 degrees F. Let the meat rest for 30 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the horseradish and the remaining 1 tablespoon of salt and pepper. Slice the roast and serve with the horseradish cream. Looking for more dinner options? Check out our pork chop recipes, chicken recipes, and potato recipes.
