Horseradish Roast
A hearty roast infused with horseradish and red wine, offering bold flavors perfect for family dinners or special occasions with savory, tender meat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the arm roast unfloured in a skillet or oven-safe pan.
- Add salt, pepper, sliced onions, horseradish, and red wine to the pan.
- Cover and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is tender.
- Serve hot, sliced with the flavorful juices.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the arm roast overnight with the horseradish, salt, and pepper. If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of horseradish. You can substitute the red wine with beef broth or a non-alcoholic red wine for a different twist. Browning the meat before baking enhances the overall flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the horseradish roast hot, sliced against the grain, and drizzled with the pan juices. It pairs beautifully with sides like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or even Slaw By Nathaniel for a refreshing contrast. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside a robust salad or crusty bread.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover horseradish roast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a covered dish with a splash of the cooking juices or broth in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes.
