Categories     Roast Beef

Time 7h20m

Yield 4-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 -10 lbs beef roast
garlic salt
black pepper
carrot (optional)
onion (optional)
potato (for baking)

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 ROAST BEEF



Easy Roast Beef image

Categories     Sauce     Beef     Bake     Roast     Fall

Yield Serves 18; 3 ounces beef per serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

Olive oil spray
1 5-pound beef rump roast, all visible fat discarded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Chili Powder (page 277) or no-salt-added chili powder
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
1 large rib of celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry red wine (regular or nonalcoholic) (plus more as needed)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (lowest sodium available)
1/2 teaspoon salt

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.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 2h15m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 -3 lbs rump roast
1 (8 -10 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup red wine (I prefer wine) or 1/2 cup ginger ale (I prefer wine)
sliced mushrooms, depending on size
fresh ground pepper
4 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Rub the rump roast with the pepper and put in good size roaster.
  • Add rest of the ingredients, except flour and water.
  • Cover.
  • Roast in a 350* oven for approximately 2 hours.
  • Use your thermometer for the doneness you prefer.
  • I like an inner temperature of 150*.
  • Baste every so often to keep meat moist.
  • When done take out meat cover with foil and let it rest.
  • Mix your flour and water in a jar with a cover and shake quickly. This removes any and all lumps.
  • Put your pan on the burner, pour in the flour/water mixture; stir until thickened.
  • If you like a thinner gravy just add water. If you like a darker, richer color to your gravy add a"seasoning and browning sauce".
  • Now you are ready to thinly slice your meat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Look for a cut that is well-marbled with fat, such as a rib roast, sirloin roast, or tenderloin roast.
  • Dry-brine the beef: This will help to draw out moisture from the beef and create a more flavorful crust. To dry-brine, simply rub the beef with a mixture of salt, pepper, and any other desired spices and herbs. Let the beef rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours.
  • Roast the beef at a high temperature: This will help to create a flavorful crust and juicy interior. Roast the beef at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and continue roasting for about 1 hour per pound of beef, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the beef rest before carving: This will help to redistribute the juices throughout the beef and make it more tender. Let the beef rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite sides: Roast beef is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Roast beef is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious roast beef dinner at home. Just be sure to choose the right cut of beef, dry-brine it, roast it at a high temperature, and let it rest before carving. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to make a perfect roast beef dinner!
