Method

Preparing the Roast Beef

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Rub the beef roast with olive oil. Generously season with salt, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme.

  3. 3

    Roast the Beef

    Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C) and continue roasting for about 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

  4. 4

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Making the Horseradish Cream

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until well combined.

  2. 6

    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate the horseradish cream until ready to serve.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 7

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine arugula, sliced tomato, and shredded aged cheddar. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the sliced roast beef on a platter with the arugula salad on the side and horseradish cream drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
