My peppercorn roast with accompanying sauce...
Needed-
Roast-
1 can of green peppercorns in brine (found in specialty stores)
Prime rib roast, any size (time will be adjusted according to size, make sure to get a 'cap-off' roast!)
Garlic, lots of it.
Sauce
1-3 packs of Demi glace (found in the packaged gravy section, use powdered gravy if not available) Judge according to roast size and crowd.
REAL butter, about a half cup to a cup, eyeball it.
remainder of peppercorns.
Cream, any kind
RED wine, decent quality (what you put in the sauce will most likely be the best kind to go with it, so you can drink that
)
More garlic.
Roast-
Slice garlic into thin slices. Slice strategic cuts in the meat, then stuff the garlic in the cuts. Next, puree the peppercorns until crushed. One good push of the puree or pulse button should do it. rub the peppercorns all over the roast, saving a good amount (a third of the can, depending on the amount of sauce to be made) for the sauce later on. Put in oven at 450C for forty-five mins, then turn down to 375. Cook until it reaches safe temp (please look this up, I just eyeball it but don't want to be responsible for food poisoning!
Sauce-
Start the demi glace according to package in a pot, just a few minutes from pulling out the roast. Once done to package instructions, pull out roast to rest. Place butter in pot, allow to melt (keep it at a simmer). Once butter has melted, place in crushed garlic (eyeball), peppercorns :+1:, and wine (ditto x2, the more the better) Allow to simmer for a few mins as the roast rests. Just before serving, add cream (again, eyeball) and stir well.
Serve with mashed tatters and streamed carrots.
I know I used a lot of eyeballs, but when it comes to this, it's hard to go wrong (I've actually tried!)
