Safe Handling Tips:

  • Wash hands with soap and water before cooking and always after touching raw meat.

  • Separate raw meat from other foods.
  • Wash all cutting boards, utensils, and dishes after touching raw meat.
  • Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods.
  • Wash all produce prior to use.
  • Cook beef until temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare steaks and roasts 160°F for ground beef.
  • Refrigerate food promptly.

Cooking:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat beef Coulotte Roast dry with paper towel; using a knife score fat to create a tight diamond pattern. Season beef with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Place beef, fat side down in large (12-inch), cold cast iron skillet.

2. Roast 15 to 20 minutes.

3. Remove skillet from oven; remove all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Using remaining drippings, add garlic and crushed red pepper to beef in skillet. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add wine; continue stirring for 1 to 2 minutes or until alcohol burns off and browned bits attached to skillet are dissolved. Add tomatoes, olives, peppers, capers and anchovy paste; stir until combined.

4. Turn roast fat side up. Place skillet back in oven; roast 8 to 10 more minutes or until meat thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare, 150° for medium doneness. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with foil. Let stand 8 to 10 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145° for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)

5. Carve roast into slices; place over cooked pasta, if desired. Spoon sauce over dish. Top with basil leaves and cheeses, if desired.
