Roast fore rib of beef with beetroot & horseradish
This fore rib cut of beef makes the perfect roast. Even if there are fewer than ten of you it's still worth cooking the whole joint and enjoying the leftovers. Beef and beetroot work so well together. When buying beetroot, try and get hold of some different shapes and colours.
