Fool Proof Roast Beef Recipes

BEST ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), and heat a large thick-bottomed roasting tray on the stovetop.
• Rub the beef generously with salt, then add a little olive oil to the tray and lightly color the meat for a couple of minutes on all sides.
• Lay the onions and bulbs of garlic in the tray with the beef on top of them, then cook in the pre-heated oven for a total of 1 1/2 hours.
• While the beef is roasting, parboil your potatoes in salted boiling water for around 10 minutes and drain in a colander. Toss about to chuff them up, this will make them really crispy.
• After 30 minutes, take the tray out and toss in your potatoes and rosemary. With a garlic press or grater, squeeze or grate the cloves of garlic and ginger over everything in the tray.
• Shake the tray and whack it back in the oven for the final hour. Remove the potatoes to a dish to keep warm, place the beef on a plate, covered with foil, to rest, and get your greens and Yorkshire puddings on.
• Remove most of the fat from your roasting tray and you should be left with caramelized onions and sticky beef goodness.
• Add 1 teaspoon of flour to the tray and mash everything together. Heat the tray on the stovetop and when hot, add the red wine. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until your gravy is really tasty and coats back of a spoon. Add any juice from the beef and feel free to add some water or stock to thin the gravy if you like.
• Pour through a coarse sieve and push it through with a spoon, pushing it through with a spoon, and serve in a warmed gravy jug. Serve with Yorkshire puddings.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Mix the batter ingredients together. Let rest for 10 minutes
• Preheat a Yorkshire pudding tray or muffin tin with 1/2-inch (1 centimeter) of oil in each section. After the 10 minutes divide the batter into the tray. Cook for around 15 to 20 minutes until crisp and puffy, don't open the oven door before then or they won't rise.

SHIRLEY'S PERFECT RARE ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Wait for a few minutes before you put your roast in, so it gets as hot as possible.
• Put the roast in a shallow pan. (I use a cookie sheet).
• Cut onion into thin rings, and put all over the top and sides of the roast using toothpicks if necessary. I sit a few slices on the bottom of my roast too.
• Sprinkle roast generously with garlic powder, or to your liking. DO NOT SALT roast, or you will dry it out.
• Put roast in the oven on the middle rack.
• Bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound, then shut off oven, and let sit in the oven for 1 hour. DO NOT under any circumstances open the oven door! VERY IMPORTANT!
• After you turn off the oven and your roast has baked for l hour, take it out of the oven, and let sit for 15 minutes, to allow juices to distribute in the roast.
• I use my electric knife to cut my roast, and place on a serving dish.
• Don't forget to make the gravy!

OFF-OVEN ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Remove roast from refrigerator. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil and red-pepper flakes to create a kind of paste. Rub this all over the roast. Place beef in a roasting pan or cast-iron skillet, fat-side up, and put in oven. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes per pound.
• Turn off oven. Do not open oven door. Leave roast to continue cooking, undisturbed, for two hours.
• After two hours, remove roast from oven. Slice and serve alongside, ideally, a watercress salad, some skillet-fried potatoes and a small tureen of Henry Bain sauce.

FOOLPROOF ROAST BEEF AND VEGETABLE

Steps:

• Place all vegetables in a zip-lock bag.
• Add enough oil to lightly coat.
• Remove from bag (I know, I know, this makes sense but one reviewer thought some people might put the entire bag in the oven - insert shocked face) and place vegetables in the roasting pan.
• Place roast on top of vegetables.
• Sprinkle roast generously with the garlic pepper (see note below).
• Sprinkle vegetables with garlic pepper and salt.
• Roast at 500 degrees (yes 500 degrees) for (7) seven minutes (yes seven) per pound.
• Roast will be medium-rare.
• Remove from oven and allow roast sit for 20 minutes or more before carving.
• Note: It is believed that adding salt to uncooked meat will draw out the juices.
• I always sprinkle with salt when roast is done.

FOOL PROOF ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Let roast stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes per pound before baking. Season with salt and pepper. Place the roast, ribs down, uncovered, in shallow baking pan; put in oven that has been thoroughly preheated to 500 degrees. Cook 5 minutes per pound, then turn off heat and leave meat in the unopened oven for at least 2 hours. Roast will be crusty and brown outside and evenly rare and juicy inside. The important things are to have the roast at room temperature and to leave the oven closed for at least 2 hours. The roast may remain in closed oven for up to 3 hours.

FOOLPROOF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small cup. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan so that the fatty side is up and the rib side is on the bottom. Rub the seasoning onto the roast.
• Roast for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Turn the oven off and leave the roast inside. Do not open the door. Leave it in there for 3 hours. 30 to 40 minutes before serving, turn the oven back on at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to reheat the roast. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (62 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into servings.
