Roast Beef 1000 Food

CLASSIC ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Salt the roast and let it come to room temp: The beef should be brought as close to room temperature as possible before you start to roast it, so that it cooks more evenly. Remove it from the refrigerator at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours, before cooking. Open the wrapping, sprinkle all sides with salt, and wrap it up again.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F: (190°C). Move a rack to the center of the oven, and place the other one underneath.
• Roast to an internal temp of 135°F to 140°F: When juices start to drip from the roast, and it is browned on the outside, check the roast's internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven when the internal temperature of the roast is 135°F to 140°F (for medium rare meat).

BALSAMIC ROASTED BEEF

• Roast the filet for 30 minutes exactly for medium-rare (25 minutes for rare and 35 minutes for medium). Remove the pan from the oven, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and allow the beef to rest on the pan for 10 minutes. Slice and serve hot or warm.

THE ROAST BEEF 1,000 FROM CUTTY'S RECIPE

Steps:

• Place shallots and oil in small saucepot and cook over high heat until oil starts to bubble. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring frequently and adjusting heat to maintain steady stream of bubbles. Cook until shallots are rust colored, about 15 minutes. Carefully pour through a strainer into a second pot, then transfer shallots to a paper towel-lined plate. (Save oil for stir-fries or for second batch of shallots). Separate shallots with fork and season with salt. Allow to cool completely before storing in a sealed container (will keep for several weeks at room temperature).
• Season beef with 3 tablespoons kosher salt. Set on a rack in a baking dish, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, preheat oven to 475°F and adjust rack to lower-middle positions. Roast until beef is lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Flip roast, reduce heat to 300°F ,and continue roasting until center registers 135°F on an instant-read thermometer, 45 minutes to 1 hour longer. Remove from oven and allow to rest at least 45 minutes. Slice as thinly as possible.
• Combine Thousand island and horseradish in a small bowl. Split rolls in half and toast. Spread dressing generously on cut sides. Sprinkle shallots generously on top side of roll. Top with cheese. Place about 4 ounces beef on bottom half of sandwich. Close sandwiches, cut, and serve.

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Coat the roast lightly with olive oil. Transfer to the wire rack and roast for 75 to 95 minutes, until an instant thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers 125 to 130 degrees for medium-rare.
• Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let cool completely before carving (trim off the fat cap if you plan to serve it cold). The meat can be roasted three days ahead; cool completely before refrigerating.
