Best 6 Never Fail Roast Beef Recipes

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.

CAST IRON ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the roast on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow the roast to come up to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Pat the roast dry on all sides with paper towels. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Carefully lay the roast in the hot oil, being mindful that the oil may pop. Sear the roast until evenly browned and deeply seared on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Turn off the heat and pour 1 cup beef stock into the skillet. Add the garlic cloves and surround the roast with the rosemary and thyme.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the desired doneness (for medium and a bright pink center, cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the roast registers 130 degrees F, about 50 minutes). Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Discard the garlic cloves and herbs. Tent the roast with aluminum foil while creating the pan sauce.
• Place the skillet back on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, red wine and remaining 1/2 cup beef stock and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shallots have softened and the liquid has reduced in volume by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brandy, heavy cream and mustard and cook just until a thin sauce comes together, about 2 minutes more.
• Slice the rested roast thinly and place on a serving platter. Serve warm with a drizzle of the sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

PRIME RIB ROAST AU JUS PERFECT EVERY TIME! NO FAIL

Steps:

• 1. Select a prime rib roast well marbleized with white or cream colored fat. (Follow these same directions for ANY size roast.) I choose a roast with at least 4 ribs or more. Also, I ask the butcher to remove the bones, put tie them back to the roast. This will make slicing so very easy!
• 2. Let meat stand at room temperature for at least one hour before cooking (longer is better). I leave it out on the counter for 4 hours. The goal is to get it to room temperature and let it stand at room temp (this aids in the cooking technique).
• 3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• 4. Rub meat with salt (if you have Lawry's seasoned salt, use it if not, regular salt also works); sprinkle with pepper.
• 5. Place meat on a rack fat side up in a shallow roasting pan. Make sure the sides of the pan are not too high. Maybe 2-3 inch sides or the meat will not brown properly. Also, make sure the roasting pan is only slightly bigger than the roast itself. This will allow the juices to accumulate and not evaporate! DO NOT COVER; DO NOT ADD WATER.
• 6. Put roast in oven; cook for just one hour at 375. It will crackle and get a beautiful layer or crust to it. After one hour, turn off heat, but DO NOT open oven door at any time until ready to serve. (You can do this step early on and let the oven cool down completely before turning on the oven again.)
• 7. Regardless of the length of time meat has been in the oven 30 - 40 minutes before serving, TURN OVEN ON again. Reset temperature to 375 degrees and set a timer for 30 minutes. Once the oven comes up to temperature (this may take up to 15 minutes), test the temperature of the meat. If not cooked to desire temperature, cook for the remaining 15 minutes or until desired temperature is reached. If your roast is a bit smaller, you can check the temperature around 20-25 minutes. You want around 120 degrees, because it will continue to cook as it rests (130 degrees for medium rare).
• 8. Now open the door; remove roast to serving platter.
• 9. Cover with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Save the pan drippings for Au Jus. You can also make Yorkshire puddings from the fat you reserve.
• 10. To Make the Au Jus Sauce, while the prime rib is resting, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Place on the stove top over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, to form a roux. Pour in the beef broth and whisk into the roux, scraping all the caramelized beef drippings from the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to high and cook the sauce for 10 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly (this is not a gravy, so don't expect a thick, heavy sauce). Adjust seasoning, strain and serve alongside the prime rib.
• 11. The meat will be very brown and crisp on the outside. Carve into slices. You'll find it beautifully pink all the way through, juicily oozing the succulence which proves that the meat is a medium rare. NOTE: If you do not like medium rare meat, please do not make this roast! Prime rib should never be cooked to medium. It will end up like the bottom of your shoe! Leave the medium and well done meat for other cuts of your choice.

FOOLPROOF RIB ROAST

Steps:

• Allow roast to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small cup. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan so that the fatty side is up and the rib side is on the bottom. Rub the seasoning onto the roast.
• Roast for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Turn the oven off and leave the roast inside. Do not open the door. Leave it in there for 3 hours. 30 to 40 minutes before serving, turn the oven back on at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to reheat the roast. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees F (62 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving into servings.

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.
