Roast Beef with Creamy Horseradish Sauce is such an excellent dinner to serve with fresh baked crusty bread mashed potatoes and a dinner salad. Top the salad with Blue cheese dressing, YUM!
A homemade Roast might sound fancy and complicated to make, but it’s actually quite simple! With a good piece of meat and some simple seasonings, you can have a perfect roast beef that is way more tender and flavorful than the store-bought kind. There is no single cut of beef that is necessary to make perfect roast beef. Some of the common cuts include:
- Eye of round roast
- Top sirloin roast
- Top round roast
- Bottom round roast
A meat thermometer is an absolute must! It really takes all of the guess work out of cooking big cuts of meat, and I promise you, it will come in handy more than just this once in your lifetime. Pro tip: make sure you’re inserting your thermometer far enough to hit the center of the roast for an accurate reading. For a medium-rare pot roast, aim for an internal temperature of about 140°F. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise a bit as it rests as well.
Serve this great roast beef with Garlic Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes, Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes or Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes. Try it with homemade crusty Homemade French Baguettes, fresh baked French Bread or some Ciabatta Bread.
