James Beard nominated cookbook author Meredith Deeds shows how easy it is to prepare the extraordinary mammoth American Wagyu Gold Grade ribeye roll roast. Of course, a roast this lovely does merit some adornment. In this case, it’s served alongside a chive Yorkshire pudding, which can bake as the roast rests and two quick and easy sauces that are meant to highlight, not cover up the roast’s flavor.

- Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Let the roast sit for 30 to 45 minutes before carving.
Chive Yorkshire Pudding

Recipe Note
Note: It’s important to check the temperature of
the meat regularly towards the end of the roasting time. This roast varies in
size so your roasting time may be more or less. Remember, the roast will
continue to cook after it’s out of the oven. Allowing the roast to rest gives
time for the juices to redistribute throughout, ensuring it will be moist and
juicy.
Note: You can purchase chopped truffles in a jar, or truffle paste in a tube. Of course, you can buy fresh truffles and chop them yourself. Please note that each of these options have a different potency, so add a little and taste before you add more.
