Roast Beef with Sour Cream & Grilled Treviso

Treviso is a longer, thinner version of round radicchio. To calm its slightly bitter flavor, we sear it a hot pan until it’s browned and caramelized, then dress it in an intense balsamic vinaigrette. To complement the recipe’s moist roast beef, we’ve combined pungent horseradish with sour cream for a cool and creamy topping.
