Cooking
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 250°F.
- In a mortar and pestle, crush the mustard seeds, salt and whole peppercorns. Transfer to a small bowl. Add 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet with 1 Tbsp. olive oil over high heat and sear the meat on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and rub mixture all over the roast.
- Roast for 1 ½ hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F for medium rare.* Remove from oven, season with additional salt to taste and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the salad. Slice off ends of clementine. Using a knife, cut the rind from top to bottom including the attached white pith. Thinly slice into ¼” rounds. Place in a medium bowl with the watercress and sliced beets. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
- In another bowl, mix the prepared horseradish with sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice the roast, place on a platter and serve with watercress salad and horseradish cream sauce on the side.
*USDA recommends cooking beef to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F.
