Instructions

1. Let the beef sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Set a large heavy skillet over 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 pan. Roast to medium rare; an instant read thermometer should read 145 degrees F when inserted into the deepest part. Let the roast rest before carving.
4. Carve and serve with Horseradish Cream.
5. Mix the horseradish, creme fraiche, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
