Instructions:
-
Prepare the Beef:
- Tie the beef with a string to hold it together during cooking and place it in a shallow dish.
- In a bowl, combine red wine, oil, minced garlic, bay leaves, and chopped onion. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow it to marinate for several hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Marination:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Before baking, pour off 2 cups of the marinade and discard it. This step ensures the beef cooks evenly without excess liquid.
- Place the marinated beef in the oven, along with the remaining marinade. Bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
-
Prepare the Peppercorn Crust:
- Once cooked, allow the beef to cool to room temperature. Remove the string and generously coat the exterior with cracked black peppercorns, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Horseradish Mayonnaise:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and finely chopped chives. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a creamy and tangy sauce.
-
Serve:
- When ready to serve, slice the beef into thin, elegant portions. Drizzle the delectable horseradish mayonnaise over the beef, allowing its zesty flavor to enhance each bite.
