Easy Beef Roast Recipes

EASY BEEF OVEN ROAST

Steps:

• Season roast. Place in shallow roasting pan. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer into center of roast avoiding fat or bone.
• Oven-Sear by placing uncovered roast in preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for 10 minutes.
• **Reduce heat to 275°F (140°C); cook uncovered to desired doneness, removing from oven when 5°F (3°C) below finished temperature. (Bone-in roast can take 30 to 45 minutes less.)
• Cover with foil and let stand for at least 15 minutes before carving into thin slices.
• **Not around to turn it down? Skip Step 2 and roast at a constant 275°F (140°C). This is especially good for less tender cuts and smaller roasts (less than 1 kg/2lb). Allow approximately 15% longer cook time.
• A rack in the pan promotes even cooking.
• Roast without a lid for best browning.
• Use a thermometer to know when your Oven Roast is done the way you like it.
• Let roast stand at least 15 minutes after cooking to let juices settle.
• Carve Oven roasts in thin slices across the grain.

EASY CROCK POT BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Place your roast in a 4 quart crock pot.
• Sprinkle your onion soup mix on top of your roast and your mushrooms on and around it.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour your soup and broth around your roast.
• Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

SIMPLE BEEF POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Pour vegetable oil into a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Brown the meat on both sides in the hot oil, and transfer to a plate.
• Stir carrots, celery, and onion into the pot, and cook and stir until vegetables start to release their juices, about 3 minutes; loosen any brown flavor bits on the bottom of the pot. Add butter, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Then sprinkle in rosemary, stir the vegetables, and return the roast to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the chuck roast is tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Season vegetables with additional salt and black pepper, if desired.

EASY CROCK POT ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into the crock pot and set on low for 8-10 hours .
• The soup and juice make a great base for a gravy with the addition of some flour (adding a juice to a quarter cup of flour until the correct consistency is reached).

EASY ROAST BEEF

• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9.
• Mix 1 tsp plain flour and 1 tsp mustard powder with some seasoning, then rub all over the 950g beef top rump joint.
• Put 1 onion, cut into 8 wedges, and 500g carrots, halved lengthways, into a roasting tin and sit the beef on top, then cook for 20 mins.
• Reduce oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and continue to cook the beef for 30 mins if you like it rare, 40 mins for medium and 1 hr for well done.
• Remove the beef and carrots from the oven, place onto warm plates or platters and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Let the beef rest for 30 mins while you turn up the oven to cook your Yorkshire puds and finish the potatoes.
• For the gravy, put the tin with all the meat juices and onions back onto the hob.

• Remove Roast beef from package and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Rub Olive Oil all over roast and put in roasting pan on a rack. (FAT SIDE UP).
• Sprinkle Garlic Powder and Black Pepper all over roast.
• Put in oven and roast at 500 degrees for 20 minutes.(do NOT open oven door during this step. You want the intense hot heat to "sear" the roast and keep in all the juices.).
• After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue roasting for at that temperature for 18 minutes per pound.
• *3lb Roast- 54 minutes
• *4lb Roast-72 minutes
• I generally start checking the temperature after 45 minutes of cooking at 300 degrees. When the roast reaches the required temperature (see below) remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Timetable.
• Rare- 125-130 degrees.
• Medium rare- 130-140 degrees.
• Medium- 145-150 degrees.

• After allowing the roast to "rest" Slice and Serve!
• Enjoy!

EASY POT ROAST

Steps:

• Take your meat out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking and generously salt and pepper it. I put 1 tablespoon of salt in the ingredients, but you should use as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
• Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Then add olive oil.
• Rough chop carrots into 2-3 inch pieces. (after cutting off the top this meant I was cutting the carrots in half on the diagonal.)
• Cut two onions in half and add them to the hot pot, browning them on one side and then the other. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Add carrots to the same pot and brown them slightly. (about 1 minute) Remove and set them on a plate with the onions.
• Add butter to the pot and allow to melt. Place the meat in the pan and sear it for about a minute on both sides until it is nice and brown all over.
• Add onions and carrots back to pan with meat. Cover and roast at 275°F for about 3 hours. I started checking mine at 2 hours. You want the meat to be cooked through and to tear easily with a fork.

BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 5 tablespoons of butter. Add the shallots and cook stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add the wine, beef broth, thyme sprigs, salt, pepper, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 35-45 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• While the wine mixture is reducing, place the remaining 3 tablespoons of softened butter in a small bowl and add the flour. Mix the butter and flour until a smooth paste is formed.
• Once the wine mixture is reduced, remove it from the heat and strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl or measuring pitcher, discard the solids then return the wine mixture to the saucepan.
• Return the saucepan to the stove and simmer over medium-low heat. Gradually, whisk in the flour mixture and allow the sauce to simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.You can make the sauce up to this point 2 days in advanced.
• Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator about an hour before roasting and allow it to sit at room temperature.
• Using a thin sharp knife (like a utility or paring knife), trim the silver skin (the silver thin membrane of chewy connective tissue on the beef surface). Then, tie the tenderloin. If one end is more tapered than the other, bend it under the roast and secure it when tying so the roast is an even thickness throughout.
• Pat dry the beef tenderloin and season it generously with salt and ground black pepper. Let the beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Heat a heavy pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil. When the oil is hot, place the roast in the skillet and sear, turning with tongs until golden brown and all but one side. Turn the roast over with tongs to the unseared side and turn off the heat.
• Transfer the skillet to the pre-heated oven and roast for about 15 minutes, depending on the size of your roast, until an oven-safe meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin registers 120 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise about 5 degrees after it is removed from the oven while it is resting, before slicing.
• Transfer the beef roast to a cutting board or platter and allow it to rest, covered loosely with aluminum foil, for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, carefully discard some of the fat from the skillet. Set the pan on the stovetop and add the 1/4 cup of beef broth. Bring to a boil and using a wooden spoon scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and add the broth from the skillet to the red wine sauce. Mix to combine and then bring the sauce to a simmer over low heat for about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the beef tenderloin and serve with the wine sauce.

EASY SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Season the beef with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper on all sides.
• Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker. Add in the remaining ingredients.
• Cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
• Once the time is up, remove and discard the thyme bouquet and garnish it with fresh thyme.

BEEF RIBEYE ROAST (BONELESS PRIME RIB)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place your beef ribeye roast in a large roasting pan on a rack. Using a rack makes for even cooking. If you don't have one, use a regular baking dish or cast iron pan. Be sure your roast is at room temperature (let it sit out at room temperature for about 1-2 hours before cooking).
• Combine the unsalted butter, salt, pepper, herbs and garlic in a small bowl until well combined.
• Pat the beef roast dry on all sides with some kitchen paper towel and rub the butter mixture all over the roast, making sure to coat all sides.
• Place the roast in the oven at 425 degrees and set the timer for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and roast for about 50 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Check the internal temperature after about 50 minutes. Remove the roast as soon as the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48 Celsius) for medium rare.
• Once you remove the roast from the oven, use the rack to remove the roast from the roasting pan and let it sit on a cutting board for about 15 minutes before slicing. Loosely tent some foil over the top to keep it warm.
• Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat and use a whisk to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan. Feel free to skim the fat off the top of the beef drippings before placing it over the heat, but if you're making this recipe for a holiday dinner leaving the fat in the drippings will make the au jus nice and rich.
• Add the wine and Worcestershire sauce to the drippings and whisk them together.
• Add the flour to the beef stock and whisk to combine. Pour the stock mixture into the pan with the drippings and continue whisking the mixture, until it thickens just slightly.
• Taste, and season with salt and pepper to your tastes.
• Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and strain the au jus to remove any impurities.
• If you wish, add a tablespoon of butter to the strained au jus and stir it in to the sauce as it melts.
• Slice the beef ribeye roast into thick slices (a 6-pound roast should serve 6-8 people generously) and serve with the au jus gravy and your favourite side dishes.

EASY, MOUTHWATERING ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Use a metal skewer to poke some holes throughout beef rib roast so marinade can penetrate the muscle.
• Whisk together beer, honey, soy sauce, Montreal steak seasoning, and garlic in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the rib roast, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in refrigerator at least 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove rib roast from the marinade. Discard remaining marinade. Place roast into a roasting pan with a rack.
• Cook the roast until hot and slightly pink in the center, about 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove from oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest on top of stove for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
