GRUNDHOFERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast, and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium rare.
• Allow the roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.

Steps:

• Cook bacon slices until crisp. Drain on paper towels and blot dry; then crumble (making about 1/4 cup).

Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
• Process all Spicy Bloody Mary Mixer ingredients in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days.
