ROAST BEEF WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE


2-3 lb. beef roast of choice
salt and pepper 
1/4 c. prepared horseradish
grated peel from 1/2 lemon
3 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 c. sour cream 
1 tsp. dried parsley

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Cut 1 inch wide pockets into the roast at 3 inch intervals. (Guess- this is no science project). Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.

In a small mixing bowl, combine horseradish and lemon peel. Reserve two tablespoons of the horseradish mixture.

Stir butter into remaining horseradish mixture. Rub butter mixture onto roast and into pockets.

Place roast in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and roast for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil, and let stand for about 10 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, stir together reserved horseradish mixture, sour cream, and parsley. Use as a sauce with the sliced roast, and serve immediately.
