PERFECT EVERY TIME ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450° F. Using a paring knife cut slits even throughout the outside of the roast in place a clove of garlic inside each slit. Ensure the garlic is fully tucked inside because once the beef begins roasting and tightening up the garlic will want to rise out of the beef. You will want to use 4-6 cloves depending on the size of the roast. If you have larger cloves you can cut them in half lengthwise and just use a half per slit.
• Then pour 1 cup of red wine and 1 1/2 cups of water into the bottom of a roasting pan. Since every roasting pan is a different size I like to add enough liquid so that when I place my index finger in the liquid comes up to the line of my first knuckle.
• Spread the mustard evenly over the outside top and sides of the roast. Then evenly sprinkle the salt, pepper and oregano over the top and sides.
• Then add the onions cut in half along the side of the roast as best you can. The onions will steam and add flavour to the beef without being overpowering and will also infuse great flavour into the pan juices.
• Next place in the oven at 450° F for half an hour. Do not cover the roast with a lid.
• After the half-hour the bottom of the pan may be dried and dark. Excellent because that pan juice is going to be amazing! That is if you are one to love dark beef gravy. If you aren't one of those people check at the 20-minute mark and add more water to the pan if need be.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350° F and add more water to the bottom of the pan if it is dry otherwise leave it alone. If you need to add more 2- 3 cups will do.
• Continue to roast for another 2 hours gently basting every 30 minutes or so. I say gently because if you hurl the pan juices at the top of the roast all that lovely crust will shoot off and you don't want that. So be gentle and baste with care. Sort of a light drizzle of pan juices over top.
• Remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches the desired doneness. Tent the roast with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve against the grain and serve.

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!

PERFECT ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Remove the beef from the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cook it, to let it come up to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 240°C/475°F/ gas 9.
• Wash and roughly chop the vegetables - there's no need to peel them. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled.
• Pile all the veg, garlic and herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with oil.
• Drizzle the beef with oil and season well with sea salt and black pepper, then rub all over the meat. Place the beef on top of the vegetables.
• Place the tray in the oven, then turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes.
• If you're doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them - get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking.
• Baste the beef halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them from burning.
• When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so. Cover it with a layer of tin foil and a tea towel and leave aside while you make your gravy, horseradish sauce and Yorkshire puddings.

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.

PRIME RIB ROAST AU JUS PERFECT EVERY TIME! NO FAIL

Steps:

• 1. Select a prime rib roast well marbleized with white or cream colored fat. (Follow these same directions for ANY size roast.) I choose a roast with at least 4 ribs or more. Also, I ask the butcher to remove the bones, put tie them back to the roast. This will make slicing so very easy!
• 2. Let meat stand at room temperature for at least one hour before cooking (longer is better). I leave it out on the counter for 4 hours. The goal is to get it to room temperature and let it stand at room temp (this aids in the cooking technique).
• 3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 4. Rub meat with salt (if you have Lawry's seasoned salt, use it if not, regular salt also works); sprinkle with pepper.
• 5. Place meat on a rack fat side up in a shallow roasting pan. Make sure the sides of the pan are not too high. Maybe 2-3 inch sides or the meat will not brown properly. Also, make sure the roasting pan is only slightly bigger than the roast itself. This will allow the juices to accumulate and not evaporate! DO NOT COVER; DO NOT ADD WATER.
• 6. Put roast in oven; cook for just one hour at 375. It will crackle and get a beautiful layer or crust to it. After one hour, turn off heat, but DO NOT open oven door at any time until ready to serve. (You can do this step early on and let the oven cool down completely before turning on the oven again.)
• 7. Regardless of the length of time meat has been in the oven 30 - 40 minutes before serving, TURN OVEN ON again. Reset temperature to 375 degrees and set a timer for 30 minutes. Once the oven comes up to temperature (this may take up to 15 minutes), test the temperature of the meat. If not cooked to desire temperature, cook for the remaining 15 minutes or until desired temperature is reached. If your roast is a bit smaller, you can check the temperature around 20-25 minutes. You want around 120 degrees, because it will continue to cook as it rests (130 degrees for medium rare).
• 8. Now open the door; remove roast to serving platter.
• 9. Cover with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Save the pan drippings for Au Jus. You can also make Yorkshire puddings from the fat you reserve.
• 10. To Make the Au Jus Sauce, while the prime rib is resting, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Place on the stove top over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, to form a roux. Pour in the beef broth and whisk into the roux, scraping all the caramelized beef drippings from the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to high and cook the sauce for 10 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly (this is not a gravy, so don't expect a thick, heavy sauce). Adjust seasoning, strain and serve alongside the prime rib.
• 11. The meat will be very brown and crisp on the outside. Carve into slices. You'll find it beautifully pink all the way through, juicily oozing the succulence which proves that the meat is a medium rare. NOTE: If you do not like medium rare meat, please do not make this roast! Prime rib should never be cooked to medium. It will end up like the bottom of your shoe! Leave the medium and well done meat for other cuts of your choice.

HOW TO ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to its highest setting.
• Rub the beef with the olive oil, salt and pepper all over.
• Put a heavy-based roasting tray on the hob and when hot, add the beef.
• Sear the beef quickly on all sides to colour and crisp the outside.
• Transfer the beef immediately to the oven and leave the oven on its highest setting (about 240C/460F/Gas 8) for 20 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 190C/375F/Gas 5 and roast for half an hour per kilo for rare, adding another ten minutes per kilo for medium rare, 20 minutes per kilo for medium, and 30 minutes per kilo for well done.
• Remove the beef from the oven, transfer it to a carving board and cover with foil. Allow it to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• For the Yorkshire pudding, mix together the eggs, flour and a pinch of salt.
• Add the milk, stirring constantly, until you have a runny batter.
• Leave this to rest, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
• Place 1cm/½in of beef dripping in the bottom of each pudding mould, or if you are using a rectangular roasting tray, place 1cm/½in of beef dripping across the bottom.
• Heat the dripping in the oven (at 240C/460F/Gas 8) for about ten minutes, until it is piping hot.
• Remove the roasting tray from the oven, pour in the batter, and immediately return to the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, making sure not to open the oven door for the first 20 minutes.
• Serve immediately with the carved roast beef.

INSTANT POT PERFECT BEEF POT ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Press the SAUTE button on your Instant Pot and allow it to heat up.
• Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to the bottom of the Instant Pot.
• Generously sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic salt on all sides of the pot roast.
• Place roast in hot oil on a skillet and let it sear on that side for 2 minutes. Flip the roast over and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
• Depending on the shape of your pot roast, you can sear the other sides if you choose. Press CANCEL button to turn off the saute feature.
• Remove the roast from the Instant Pot and place on a plate.
• Pour 1/2 cup beef broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot and with a wooden spatula, scrape the burnt brown bits off the bottom of the pot (this is called "deglazing" and will keep you from getting the burn notice when it cooks).
• Place roast back into Instant Pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery and spread all around the roast.
• Add garlic on top of roast and vegetables.
• Pour in the beef broth, being sure not to pour it directly on the roast or vegetables because you just cooked them in delicious flavors. Try to pour the beef broth on the sides as much as possible.
• Pour the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce directly on the roast. Sprinkle thyme and rosemary evenly around the meat and vegetables.
• Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING. Press the PRESSURE COOK (MANUAL) button and set timer for 80 minutes (or 20 minutes per pound, depending on the size of your roast).
• When the timer is done, let the pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE and then let the roast sit on warm for at least 1 hour (I sometimes will let it sit on warm in the Instant Pot for 3-5 hours, just to let it really get tender).
• Remove roast from Instant Pot and slice into pieces (it should pretty much fall apart by this point).
• Serve with mashed potatoes and the cooked carrots on the side.
