This is what I cook when I want to pull out all the stops and impress people. It's easy but tastes like something you'd get at a 5-star restaurant. I double all the ingredients for added flavor, sometimes tripling the garlic. From Bon Appetit, December 2000. Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves |
8 fresh sage leaves |
4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
4 teaspoons olive oil |
2 -4 teaspoons salt (depending on how salty you like your food) |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper |
1 (4 -5 lb) boneless beef roast, loin new york strip, fat trimmed to 1/4 inch |
Directions:
1. With machine running, drop garlic into processor; blend until finely chopped. 2. Add sage, thyme, oil, salt and pepper; process until paste forms. 3. Pat meat dry with paper towels. 4. Rub meat all over with herb paste. 5. Cover; chill at least 3 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.). 6. Preheat oven to 450°F 7. Place meat, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. 8. Roast meat 15 minutes. 9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F 10. Roast meat until instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 130°F for medium-rare, about 35 minutes (or 140°F for medium, about 40 minutes). 11. Remove from oven; let stand 20 minutes. 12. Cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. 13. Arrange slices on platter. |
