Rare Roast Beef

This recipe has got to be the best ever roast beef you can have!

The main reason where many often go wrong is down to the choice of meat cut used for roasting.

As you will probably know, different cuts of meat are best used for different types of cooking, for example, a tougher cut of meat, such as braising or brisket is often used for slow cooking, and the more tender cuts, such as rib-eye and sirloin or fillet are used for pan frying or, as in this case, roasting.

It's becoming more popular to choose for roast beef or ham as an alternative to turkey for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It's certainly a luxury because beef is so expensive, so you do need to make sure you cook it right so you don't ruin a lovely dinner!

In the recipe below, you'll find out how to keep your beef tender and juicy, and also we will give you instructions of when to start preparing and cooking the side dishes so you get the timings perfect!

What is the best cut of beef to use for roasting?

I will only use Rib Eye or Sirloin cut of beef, as this will cut just like butter, is so tender, and the marbling of fat that runs through the meat will baste itself during cooking, keeping it moist and giving it the most wonderful flavour.

If you choose to use another cut of beef, I can say that it won't come out as tender unless of course, you use fillet, but this is very expensive and often you do not get fillet cuts in large enough joint sizes suitable for roasting.

Roast Beef Dinner is traditionally served with roast potatoes,  roast parsnips, and Yorkshire Pudding, and of course, the gravy which you would make from the juices of the beef.

Further down in the instructions, I'll add the links again for these other side dishes so you can make them along with your roast beef dinner.

What are the cook times for beef?

For RARE : cook it for 15 minutes per pound (450 g)

For MEDIUM RARE: Add 15 minutes to the total rare cooking time

For WELL DONE: Add 30 minutes to the total rare cooking time

Please note, check the packaging of your beef for the weight before you throw it away! I've been caught out several times not knowing the weight because I've discarded the packaging and ended up having to weigh it on some kitchen scales. Make a note of the weight on a bit of paper and then work out the cook times and write it down!

This is a truly wonderful dinner and one which I enjoy very much when I make it for special occasions! Please enjoy too!

Top tip

If you are going to boil your vegetables, keep the used water to add to your gravy. It's full of vitamins and will add flavor to your gravy!

11. When the cook time is up for the beef, take out of the oven and let rest for 35 minutes and keep it covered with foil.

You can use the juices in the gravy if you wish. **PLEASE MAKE SURE THE BEEF CAN REST to ensure maximum tenderness.
