I cannot say enough good things about a spoon roast. It makes your house smell amazing and it is seriously easy to cook.
Spoon Roast
Ingredients
2 1/2 to 3 pound spoon roast
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. For rare cook at 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound (medium rare 6-7 minutes per pound, medium 8-9 minutes per pound, medium well 10-11 minutes per pound). Then turn the oven off. Do not open the oven. Set timer for 2 hours. Take out and slice to order!
I don’t make a gravy for this because it’s more work and I’d like to enjoy the meal with my family 🙂 I think a pesto or horseradish cream sauce would be great with it. You can make either sauce the day before.
Horseradish cream sauce
Ingredients
2 Tablespoons of sour cream
1 Tablespoon mascarpone
3 – 4 teaspoons of horseradish
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
pinch of salt and pepper
Directions
Mix in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
I am serving this on Christmas day with twice baked potatoes, a cauliflower casserole and peas and make your own ice cream sundae’s for dessert! Keeping it simple. I can make the potatoes and casserole the day before and just heat it up after the the roast comes out and saute the peas quickly with some butter, salt, pepper and fresh thyme.
