Sea Salt Rib Roast
Sea Salt Rib Roast
Ingredients
Roast
1 (9-pound) boneless beef rib roast
3 tablespoons flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
1 1/2 teaspoons sel gris
Morel Cream Gravy
1/4 cup grapeseed oil, divided
1 pound fresh morel mushrooms or button
mushrooms, sliced (about 7 cups), divided
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
4 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 1/2 teaspoons fleur de sel
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F with oven rack in lower third of oven.
Rub roast all over with sea salt and place roast, fat cap up, on a wire rack
set inside a roasting pan. Let roast stand at room temperature while oven is
preheating, about 30 minutes. (Roast may be seasoned and refrigerated,
uncovered, up to overnight. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature before
proceeding.) Insert a probe thermometer in thickest part of roast.
Roast in preheated oven until meat is lightly browned, 20 to
25 minutes. Without opening oven, reduce oven temperature to 225°F. Continue
roasting until internal temperature of meat registers 120°F, about 2 hours and
30 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer roast to a cutting board and let rest 40
minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, when the roast has about 30 minutes left in the
oven, prepare the gravy. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high.
Add 3 1/2 cups mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are
deeply caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a medium bowl. Repeat
browning process with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and the rest of the
mushrooms.
Return all mushrooms to skillet over medium. Stir in sherry
vinegar and fleur de sel, scraping browned bits off bottom of skillet. Cook
until liquid is reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add 4 cups cream and bring to
a simmer, whisking occasionally. Cook, whisking occasionally, until gravy is
thickened and reduced to about 3 cups, about 30 minutes. If gravy gets too
thick or separates, whisk in up to 1/4 cup more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time,
until desired consistency is reached. Keep the cream gravy hot until ready to
serve, up to 30 minutes
After it's rested, slice the roast and sprinkle with sel
gris. Whisk the tarragon into the gravy, then serve with the rib roast and
carving board juices.
