Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 lbs center-cut beef rib roast, trimmed of excess fat (2 bones)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
coarse sea salt (Maldon or similar)
1/2 cup heavy cream, very cold
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lower third, and preheat oven to 275°F.
  • Place the roast on a rack standing in a roasting pan. Holding a blowtorch about 1" from the surface, pass the flame over the entire roast until the fat is lightly browned and smoking gently, and the meaty areas are just barely gray.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper, and place the pan in the oven with the meaty part towards the back. Cook until a thermometer reads 128°F in the center (about 2 hours; if you do not have a leave-in thermometer, begin checking at 90 minutes). Remove from oven and let rest, tented with foil, in a warm place, 30 minutes for medium-rare.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the cream and vinegar in a very cold bowl until it holds soft peaks. Whisk in horseradish, salt and pepper. (Unused cream will stay good, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to a week.).
  • Carve the meat off the bones. Cut between the bones and place them on a serving platter. Cut the roast in half through the center, place the cut sides down on a board, and carve into 1/2" thick slices. Arrange on the serving platter, sprinkle with grey salt or sea salt and black pepper, and serve with horseradish cream alongside.
