Walnut-Crusted Roast with Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Total Recipe Time: 1-3/4 to 2 hours
Makes 8 to 10 servings This pic is of a beef roast. A Yak roast will be much darker red.
Ingredients 1 Yak Striploin or Ribeye Roast (2 to 4 pounds), 4 cups prepared mashed potatoes, warmed 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, Walnut Crust: 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onion, 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions Heat oven to 325°F. Combine Walnut Crust ingredients; remove all exterior connective tissues from the roast; press evenly onto all surfaces of the Yak roast.
Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of the roast. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 325°F oven 1 to 1-3/4 hours (depending on size of the roast) for medium rare doneness. (Do not overcook, watch carefully.)
Remove roast when meat thermometer registers 135°F. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 10 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare.)
Meanwhile combine mashed potatoes and cheese in large bowl; keep warm.
Carve Yak roast into thin slices; season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve with mashed potatoes.
