From the Test Kitchen

Nothing says ‘comfort food’ like roast beef and horseradish. To modernize this classic you’ll be serving it with a side of heirloom carrots and a zesty, slightly peppery green called mizuna. We’re keeping the beautiful simplicity of the beef, roasting it with a just hint of thyme and finishing it with a dollop of horseradish sour cream. This recipe has the perfect balance of tradition and innovation.

Return the beef and carrots to the oven and roast for 18 to 20 minutes longer, or until the carrots are browned and the beef reaches your desired doneness. (An instant-read thermometer should register 130°F for medium.) Remove from the oven and top the roasted beef and carrots with the thyme, the juice of the remaining lemon wedges and a little olive oil.
