Horseradish-Crusted Oven Roast with Classic Pan Gravy

The horseradish and cracked pepper crust makes simple seem special with this oven roast. To crack the peppercorns, place them in a sturdy plastic freezer bag and crush with the back of a heavy skillet or hammer. Our time-test results are based on a roast that was about 7¼-in (18 cm) long x 5¼-in (13 cm wide) x 3½-in (9 cm) deep. NOTE: ‘Time-to-cook’ figures are rough guidelines only as cook time is dependent on so many factors such as oven and thermometer accuracy, starting temperature of roast, roast shape and cut. A good thermometer is one of your best kitchen investments.
