Kirkland Signature beef rib eye roast with roasted beets, anchovy and rosemary sauce

EASY ENTERTAINING

Time: 4 hrs, plus resting overnight Serves: 10 – 12
• 3 – 4kg beef rib eye roast
• 12 anchovy fillets
• 3 cloves garlic
• 6 tbs chopped fresh rosemary
• Juice of 2 lemons
• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 bunches baby beetroots, large stems removed, boiled and roasted until charred and tender, to serve
1. To season the beef, rub 1 tablespoon of sea salt flakes and 2 tablespoons of black pepper into the beef, including the underside and fat cap. Then, using butcher’ s twine, tie in between each rib to hold the beef together as it cooks.
2. Place the beef on a rack and set it in the fridge, uncovered, to air dry for 8 hours or overnight. The beef will absorb the spice and dry out, giving it a tastier crust.
3. Remove the beef from the fridge a good hour before cooking and preheat your oven to 125 ° C( 110 ° C fanforced). Place the beef onto a roasting rack, fat-side up, inside a roasting pan. Place into your oven and cook for approximately 3½ hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 47 – 49 ° C for medium rare.
4. While the beef is in the oven, make the anchovy and rosemary sauce. Start by pounding the anchovies, garlic, rosemary and a pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle. Alternatively, you could very finely chop everything and mix. Add the lemon juice and oil, stirring to blend; set aside.
5. Remove the beef from the oven and loosely cover with foil. Allow to rest for 20 – 30 minutes. You will see the temperature rise due to the residual heat( or carryover cooking). A temperature gauge should read about 52 – 54 ° C.
6. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 250 ° C( 230 ° C fanforced) or as high as it will go. Return the beef to the hot oven to sear the outside until browned and crispy, approximately 5 – 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, slice and serve immediately with the roasted baby beetroot and anchovy and rosemary sauce.
