Rib of beef

1) Let the beef sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas Mark 6.

2) Set a large heavy frying pan over a high heat so it's smoking hot. Season the beef liberally with salt and sear on all sides. Transfer the beef to a rack set inside a roasting tin. Roast to medium rare; an instant read thermometer should read 62C when inserted into the deepest part.

3) Carve and serve with the horseradish cream.

For the horseradish cream:
1) Mix the horseradish, creme fraiche, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
