Boasting assertive flavors like Dijon mustard and horseradish, this herb-crusted roast is a superb take on a classic entrée for a special family gathering or holiday dinner. It’s best not to take the roast straight from the refrigerator to the oven, so you’ll need to let the beef sit out at room temperature for a bit to take the chill off to ensure it cooks evenly. Pat the meat dry before applying to mustard mixture to help it brown. With a large cut like a rib roast, it’s even more important to let it rest before carving so all the juices redistribute throughout the meat Turn leftovers into flavorful steak sandwiches or eat some for breakfast with scrambled eggs.
