Serves 4
3-4-rib standing beef roast
sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
800g Jerusalem artichokes, scrubbed
8 small pickling onions, peeled
1 tbsp plain flour
1 cup beef stock
1/3 cup red wine
1 tbsp horseradish cream
500g brussels sprouts, trimmed
20g butter, softened

1 Preheat oven to 200˚C. Season beef on all sides with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Place into a roasting pan with artichokes and onions. Roast for 1 hour for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking.
2 Transfer beef and vegetables to a plate and cover to keep warm. Drain pan juices into a jug leaving 2 tbsp of juice in roasting pan for gravy. Place roasting pan over a high heat.
