Standing Beef Rib Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3-3 1/2 lb beef rib roast, trussed
1 tbsp olive oil, plus more, for drizzling
2 None leeks, halved, washed
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
2 tsp minced horseradish
4 tbsp butter, softened
2 tbsp chopped parsley
None None For the Herb Butter
None None Roasted vine cherry tomatoes, to serve
None None Salad, to serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Weigh beef and calculate cooking time (allow 15-20 minutes per lb). Brush with oil.
Heat a large skillet on high. Sear beef 2-3 minutes, turning. Season to taste. Arrange leeks in a baking dish and drizzle with oil. Place beef on bed of leeks. Bake 45-55 minutes, or until cooked to taste. Add tomatoes to pan for the final 10 minutes of cooking time (drizzle with oil and season to taste).
To make herb butter: combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon along the center of a piece of plastic wrap to form a log. Roll up and twist both ends tightly to secure. Chill in fridge for 20 minutes until firm.
Cover meat loosely with foil and rest for at least 20 minutes. Serve beef with slices of herb butter, leeks, tomatoes and salad.
