BEEF ON WECK RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the roast beef ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F and grab a roasting pan.
• Cut 1/2-inch slits all around the roast. Insert the garlic slices into the slits.
• Coat the roast with olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Place the roast fat-side up in roasting pan and place it in preheated oven. Pour the beef broth in the bottom of the roasting pan. Do not pour it over the roast. Bake for 15 minutes and then turn the heat down to 250 F. Cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 135 F. This will take 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the size and shape of roast.
• Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes. Place the beef drippings from the bottom of the pan into a small saucepan and keep them warm.
• Gather the roll ingredients.
• Brush the top of each roll with the egg wash. Whisk together the caraway seeds and the salt. Dip the top of the roll into the salt mixture.
• Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2 to 5 minutes or until the egg wash is set and the rolls are just slightly browned.
• Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.
• Gather the sauce ingredients.
• Whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.
• Thinly slice the roast beef.
• Dip the roast beef into the jus and remove it quickly.
• Cut the rolls in half and dip the top into the warm jus. Top the bottom of the rolls with roast beef. Spread the horseradish sauce on top of the roast beef and then top with the dipped roll.
• Serve with extra jus and dig in immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Let meat stand at cool room temperature about 45 minutes before roasting.

Internal temperature of meat will rise about 5°F as roast stands.)
