Roast Beef French Dip With Green Pea Pesto Food

BEEF DIP

Steps:

• For the prime rib rub: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix the garlic, salt, pepper, granulated onion, thyme and rosemary together in a small bowl. Pour the Irish stout and 2 cups water into a large metal roasting pan fitted with a rack inside. Rub seasoning mix all over prime rib and place in the roasting pan fat-side up. Roast, uncovered, 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Cover roast with tin foil and roast until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F for medium-rare, about 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board, wrap in foil and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Save drippings in pan to make au jus.
• For the horseradish aioli: Place yolks, garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, Dijon and salt into a food processor. Process until smooth, then drizzle in olive oil until it reaches desired consistency.
• To make au jus, pour pan drippings into a small saucepan. Add black pepper and minced garlic to taste. Add water if more au jus is desired than what was left from roasting the meat. Bring to a simmer on stovetop, and simmer a few minutes.
• To make the sandwich: Soak a 1/3-pound slice prime rib in au jus briefly, then saute in a pan to warm, and top with two slices of white Cheddar. Served on a demi-baguette with 2 ounces of horseradish aioli, along with a side of au jus for dipping. Repeat with 5 more slices.

CHEAPO PEA PESTO

Steps:

• Combine the peas, walnuts and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until chopped into a thick mixture. Add the cheese and lemon juice and pulse again until incorporated.
• With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until a thick paste is formed. Turn off the machine and season with salt and pepper. Pulse the pesto one final time to incorporate the seasoning.
• Serve over crostini for an easy appetizer.

VEGGIE SCRAMBLES WITH PESTO

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, then onions and peppers. Cook 6 to 7 minutes then add peas and cook another minute. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper then add to veggies and scramble to desired doneness. Remove from heat and stir in pesto then plate up and serve.

FRENCH DIP ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place roast in a large roasting pan.

• Slice meat thinly and serve on rolls.
• Serve juices in individual cups or bowls to dip sandwiches into.
