Ingredients

Beef
  • 1 Quality Mark beef standing rib

Basic gravy
  • 4 Tbsp white flour

  • 2 cups beef stock

Horseradish cream
  • 2 Tbsp prepared horseradish

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

  • 2 tsp white sugar

  • 1/2 cup whipped cream

Method

To Roast Beef
1

Have your butcher tie the roast between the ribs so the meat keeps a neat shape when cooking.

2

Weigh the standing rib to calculate the cooking time.

3

Season the meat well with salt and pepper and place on a rack in a roasting dish.

4

Cooking times are as follows: 200°C for 20 minutes per 500g for medium, or 25 minutes per 500g for medium to well done, or 30 minutes per 500g for well done.

5

Allow the meat to stand for 5 minutes per 500g to rest the meat before carving.

6

During this time make the Basic Gravy and Horseradish Cream.

7

A 1kg roast will serve 6 people.

Basic Gravy
1

Drain the fat from the roasting pan and reserve 4 tablespoons.

2

Leave the sediment in the pan as this adds flavour to the gravy.

3

Add the flour and cook over a moderate heat for 1-2 minutes or until frothy.

4

Do not leave any white specks of flour as these will form lumps when the stock is added.

5

Gradually stir in the stock and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6

Season with salt and pepper.

Horseradish Cream
1

Mix together grated fresh horseradish, lemon juice, sugar and lightly whipped cream.

2

Season with salt and pepper. (Note: if you cannot find any fresh horseradish, use the store-bought variety in a jar and omit the lemon juice).
