How do I cook the perfect Beef roast ?
Follow these tips to make the Perfect Beef Roast
1. Get the right meat:
· The best joints for roast beef are a Rib of Beef, a Sirloin or a Fillet.
· Small slivers of fat marbling the flesh adds flavor and prevents drying out during cooking.
· A thick covering of fat is essential for both flavor and for preventing the joint from drying out during cooking. Remove this layer before serving to reduce excess fat.
2. The beef should be at room temperature at the start of the cooking process.
3. Season with salt and desired spices. Try dried or crushed garlic, onion powder, oregano, Cajun seasoning, thyme, rosemary, chili powder, or any other spices you like.
4. Seasoning with sugar helps to caramelize the meat and to give it a wonderful golden brown color.
5. The best way to cook roast beef is to have it sitting directly on the oven rack, with a tray underneath to catch the drippings.
6. Stand the beef joint in a roasting tin then cook in a very hot oven 425F for the first 30 mins then lower the temperature to 375F for the remaining cooking time: Rare – 11 mins per lb/450g, Medium – 14 mins per lb/450g, Well done – 16 mins per lb/450g
7. The meat has to be rested after cooking for at least half an hour and sliced really thinly for you to enjoy the tenderness.
