Horseradish-and-Herb-Crusted Beef Rib Roast

Rate & Review

(423 people have added this recipe to their favorites.)

The inspiration for this delicious roast comes from chef John Besh’s father-in-law, Pat Berrigan, who serves it every Christmas with horseradish sauce on the side. Besh opts to smear the roast with a horseradish, garlic and herb butter, which bakes to form an irresistible crust.

Pairing Suggestion

This impressive rib roast will pair well with a substantial Cabernet Sauvignon; Cabernet’s firm tannins help cut the richness of red meat, and its slight herbal edge makes a nice partner to the herb-horseradish crust. The 2004 vintage in Napa Valley produced fleshy, generous wines that are easy to drink now; two to look for are the blackberry-inflected Robert Mondavi Napa Valley and the curranty 2004 Provenance Rutherford.
