Roast Beef
Normally, we just throw a roast in the crock pot with some seasonings, caramelized onion, and some beef broth. Set it on Low and forget about it for the rest of the day. It’s Sunday, though, so I decided to do something a little fancier. Since I was home all day, I decided to oven roast the beef since I’d be here in case the oven blew up (not that it ever would).

Roast Beef with Sweet Kale and Horseradish Mayo
This recipe makes fancy roast beef – like the prime rib you see at buffets where the guy in the chef’s toque and apron carves it for you. Only
way cheaper. It’s kinda rare, but tender without falling apart. It really doesn’t matter what kind of roast you use. I’ve had it turn out great with arm roast, pot roast, and, now, a boneless crossrib roast.
For oven roasting meats, I like to use an oven-safe thermometer that you can just stick in the center of the roast or the thigh of the bird and forget about. That way, I don’t have to sit there with the oven open waiting for my instant read thermometer to not-so-instantly read.

My mouth was watering as I read this. Never knew how to cook meat like this before. Thanks for the tip! Not so hard. 🙂
Yum – this sounds fantastic! I am always looking for a good roast beef recipe. I will have to give this one a try!
Can we have horseradish sauce on GAPS stage 3? Or do we have to make it ourselves? Thank you.
We make our own horseradish sauce – it’s actually very easy. The kind you get in the store may or may not be ok – you’d want to look at all the ingredients and make sure it’s very pure.
However, the horseradish we make has homemade mayonnaise in it. Since mayo uses olive oil, one might consider it an Intro Stage 4 food. But since the horseradish is raw and not mentioned in the GAPS book, we play it safe and consider it a Full Diet food.
Perfect, thank you!
