Never Fail Roast Beef Recipes

NEVER FAIL ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Let meat stand at room temperature for at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 190c (375F) degrees.
• Rub meat with seasoning and place fat side up in shallow pan.
• Do NOT cover or add water.
• Bake 1 hour, turn off heat.
• DO NOT OPEN OVEN!
• Turn oven back on to 190 deg C (375 deg F), 45-55 minutes before you plan to serve and bake for 30-40 minutes.
• Remove roast from oven and cover with foil - do not carve for 15 minutes.

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.

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.
