EASY ROAST BEEF
This is a pretty fool proof way to make a roast beef. You can add or subtract any seasoning you want. * I don't add salt before cooking as it will draw out the juices. *Always check your roast with a meat thermometer, to get a perfect roast. I use a digital read thermometer. see bottom of directions for timetable. *Remember that the roast will continue cooking after you remove from the oven and let it sit. Usually about 5-10 degrees, so keep that in mind when you go to read the temperature *Allow the roast to sit for 10-15 minutes after removing from oven, so that the juices can redistribute, before you slice it.

Steps:
- Preheat Oven to 500 Degrees.

- Rub Olive Oil all over roast and put in roasting pan on a rack. (FAT SIDE UP).
- Sprinkle Garlic Powder and Black Pepper all over roast.
- Put in oven and roast at 500 degrees for 20 minutes.(do NOT open oven door during this step. You want the intense hot heat to "sear" the roast and keep in all the juices.).

- *3lb Roast- 54 minutes
- *4lb Roast-72 minutes
- I generally start checking the temperature after 45 minutes of cooking at 300 degrees. When the roast reaches the required temperature (see below) remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
- Season the meat on all sides with the Essence, salt, and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pan and add the onion slices and thyme sprigs. Place the roast on top of the onions, fat side up. Add the beef broth to the pan and place in the oven, uncovered. Roast until the beef is tender and registers an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Transfer the roast to a platter or cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, use a slotted spoon to discard the onions and thyme sprigs. Place the Dutch oven over medium-high heat to heat the beef drippings. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the beef drippings and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully transfer to a gravy boat or decorative bowl.
- Carve the beef thinly and arrange the slices on large plates with rice on the side. Drizzle gravy over each portion and serve alongside of the Easy Rice.
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:
- This works well for almost any size roast! I've used it for roasts as small as 3 and as large as 10, with nearly identical results. Best cuts to start with are large, tender cuts of beef - such as a rib or sirloin roast. Sirloin-tip, rump, rolled-rump, eye-of-round or top-round roasts will also benefit from this cooking method if they are graded prime or choice.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Season roast with salt and pepper, garlic salt, steak seasoning or whatever you like, including not at all. You can also add onions and/or carrots to your dish if you wish. They will be VERY well done, but I think they are delicious.
- Put the roast fat side down in a roasting pan or a Pyrex baking pan. I don't recommend using a rack under the meat, but that's just my preference.
- Put roast in oven for one hour. For a 7 PM meal, you can start it as late as 11 AM; for a 6 PM you can start it as late as 10 AM, and so forth. Or you can start it at whatever time you get up, which is what I usually do, since I leave for work at 8.
- At the end of the hour, turn the oven off, BUT DON'T OPEN THE OVEN DOOR! If there are going to be people in the house during the day, I put a note on the oven door saying DO NOT OPEN.
- About an hour before your meal, turn the oven back on to 375 degrees for 45 minutes. I usually put my potatoes, wrapped in aluminum foil, in at this time. At the end of the 45 minutes, take the roast out, and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. It's going to look burnt, but the meat will be wonderful! The pan drippings make great gravy, too!
- Carve and enjoy!
EASY EYE ROUND ROAST BEEF
Took the basic technique from Cook's Illustrated to make the cheaper cut of beef more tender, but added a couple of twists. This is great served medium-rare. For those who prefer it more done, the ends should be more to medium. I serve with creamy horseradish. Slice it thin and it's as tender as tenderloin.

Steps:
- Sprinkle all sides of 4 lb. eye of round roast evenly with salt. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6-18 hours. The longer you let it sit the more tender it will become. But don't let it go over 18-24 hours.
- Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to almost room temperature,.
- Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
- Pat roast dry with paper towel.
- Cut deep slits into roast and stick in slivered pieces of garlic.
- Rub with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle all sides evenly with pepper.
- Heat remaining oil in large, heavy bottomed pan (I just use my shallow roaster with rack).
- Sear roast until browned on all sides, 4-5 minutes per side. Should create some good fond.
- Transfer roast to wire rack in shallow roaster pan.
- Use meat-probe thermometer and set it for 125 degrees.
- Roast until meat-probe thermometer inserted into center of roast registers 120 degrees for medium-rare, 1 1/4 to 1 3/4 hours, or 130 degrees for medium, 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours.
- Turn oven off; leave roast in oven, until meat-probe thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare or 140 degrees for medium (this can take as little as 15-30 minutes longer).
- Transfer roast to carving board and let rest 15 minutes.
- Slice meat crosswise as thinly as possible and serve with creamy horseradish.

EASY CROCK POT BEEF ROAST
This is going to be one of the easiest Beef Roast you've ever made. This roast is so tender and delicious, yet so simple to make. The flavor of the pepper rings and juice goes right through the roast, and it is so moist, with a mild taste. I received this recipe from a close friend who works in the meat dept. at a local grocery store. When customers ask for a different way to make a roast, they suggest this. The leftovers make the best sandwiches. Be sure you use the Mild pepper rings, and not the Hot. I wouldn't advise adding potatoes or carrots to this recipe. This is one of my husbands favorite, I hope you like it too.

EASY ROAST BEEF
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a roasting pan with olive oil spray. Set aside.
- Rub the beef on all sides with the oil. Sprinkle with the Chili Powder. Using your fingertips, gently press the Chili Powder so it adheres to the beef. Transfer the beef to the roasting pan. Put the onion, carrots, and celery around the beef.
- In a small bowl, stir together the wine and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the beef.
- Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the beef registers almost the desired doneness. If the beef begins to dry out during cooking, baste with additional wine. Don't use the drippings for basting. Leaving the pan juices in the pan, transfer the beef to a cutting board, retaining the pan juices. Let stand, lightly covered with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes to continue cooking. Thinly slice the beef. Arrange on a platter.
- Meanwhile, skim the fat from the pan juices or remove the juices with a bulb baster and discard the fat. Stir the salt into the pan juices. Spoon over the sliced beef.
- Cook's Tip on Beef Temperatures
- Use a meat thermometer or an instant-read thermometer to determine the internal temperature. To be safe, cook beef to at least 160°F. For well-done, cook to 170°F.
- Cook's Tip on Separating Fat from Pan Juices
- A gravy separator, which looks like a measuring cup with a spout coming from the bottom, makes it easy to remove the fat from pan juices. Pour all the pan juices into the separator. After the fat rises to the top, simply pour the fat-free juice out of the bottom until the fat layer falls to the level of the spout. Discard what remains in the separator.

A really easy dish to throw together. You can use whatever kind of beef roast you want, or try pork. I have honestly never paid attention to what size roast I have used or measured the onions or Worcestershire, but I think that this is close. I will update it if necessary the next time I make it.

NEW ORLEANS STYLE SLOPPY ROAST BEEF POBOY (EASY!!)
If you ever visit New Orleans, at some point in time, you must get a good, sloppy roast beef poboy. The difference between a poboy and a submarine sandwich is the bread. Poboys are made on a very light and crusty french bread. I like my bread heated to where the crust is very crispy, yet the inside is soft. That usually takes about 3-4 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The proper way of eating this is to let the gravy drip onto the fries when you take a bite, then eat the fries and gravy. Mmmmmmm!!! :)

Steps:
- 1. Prepare au jus gravy mix according to package directions. Pour finished gravy into slow cooker, add roast beef. Set to low or warm and allow meat to heat through. (I allow at least two hours with crock pot on low)
- 2. Prepare french fries according to package directions, season to taste.
- 3. Saute drained mushroom pieces and onion in frying pan, set aside.
- 4. Layer beef, mushrooms and onion on hoagie bun sliced lengthwise. Top with two slices swiss cheese per sandwich.
- 5. Ladle au jus gravy into small cups for dipping sandwich and/or fries.
- 6. Plate sandwich with fries and au jus cup. Can also add a pickle spear (I prefer kosher dill spears).
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and sirloin tip roast are all good choices for pot roast. These cuts are tough but flavorful, and they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef adds flavor and color to the pot roast. To brown the beef, heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to pot roast. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and parsnips.
- Choose the right liquid: Beef broth, water, or a combination of both can be used to braise pot roast. If you use beef broth, the pot roast will have a richer flavor. If you use water, you can add herbs and spices to the liquid to flavor it.
- Cook the pot roast slowly: Pot roast should be cooked slowly over low heat. This allows the meat to become tender and the flavors to develop. Cook the pot roast for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Conclusion:
Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always delicious. By following these tips, you can make a pot roast that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying meal, give pot roast a try!
