CHEF JOHN'S PERFECT PRIME RIB
This is a specific formula for achieving a perfectly pink prime rib cooked somewhere a shade under medium rare. To use this method you must have a full-sized, modern oven with a digital temperature setting that indicates when it is preheated. Older ovens with manual controls can vary greatly, and the doors may not have the proper insulation.

SLOW-ROASTED BEEF
With the aid of a digital thermometer and plenty of hands-off time, this recipe makes the best of an inexpensive beef roast, which really shines when thinly sliced and reused in flavor-packed dishes over the next week. Though the recipe suggests a 2- to 3-pound roast, it will work for one of any size. (Just be aware that the timing will change accordingly.) As the beef rests in the fridge, it will initially darken in color and may later turn brown or gray; this is due to the oxidation of muscle pigments and is expected. Once you start cooking, always rely on your thermometer, not your timer. To test for doneness without a thermometer, insert a thin metal skewer all the way through the meat and hold it there for 10 seconds. Rapidly remove the skewer and touch it to the skin under your lower lip. It will feel like a hot bath water at rare.

Steps:
- Pat roast dry with paper towels. Rub generously with salt (at least 1/4 cup) and pepper on all sides. Shake the roast gently, allowing any excess salt and pepper to fall off.
- Place a wire rack in a small rimmed baking sheet or lay 5 to 6 metal skewers across a large plate or baking sheet. Place roast on top of rack or skewers, making sure it is fully elevated above the bottom of the baking sheet. Place elevated roast on the bottom rack of your refrigerator, uncovered (or loosely covered with foil, if you are squeamish about raw meat), and let rest undisturbed for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
- Transfer baking sheet with elevated roast directly from the refrigerator into a cold oven and set oven temperature to 225 degrees. Cook until the center of the roast reaches 120 degrees for rare, or 130 degrees for medium, as tested with a digital thermometer. Depending on the oven and the exact geometry of the roast, this will take 1 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Remove baking sheet with roast from oven and set on a trivet or on top of your stovetop. Let the roast rest on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet (any heavy skillet without a nonstick coating will do) over high until lightly smoking. Sear roast, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 4 minutes total.
- Carve into thin slices with a sharp knife and serve what you'll eat today. When finished, carve remaining roast. Carefully lay fanned slices into zipper-lock freezer bags in layers no thicker than 1/2 inch. Squeeze out as much air as possible and stack sealed bags on an aluminum baking sheet. Place in freezer until completely frozen. Store frozen for up to 2 months.
- To thaw, place one bag of frozen sliced steak on an aluminum baking sheet at room temperature until defrosted, about 45 minutes. It is important to use an aluminum sheet, as the high thermal conductivity of aluminum greatly speeds up the thawing process. Use thawed sliced steak as desired.

Steps:
- Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room-temperature (about 30-40 minutes). Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Trim excess fat from roast and generously rub all sides with Kosher salt.
- In a heavy roasting pan or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add roast to pan and sear on all sides for about one minute per side. You want the roast to be brown all over.
- Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and pour beef broth over the top and around the inside of the roasting pan.
- Cover and roast in the oven for 3 hours or until beef is fall-apart tender (add 40-60 minutes per pound over 3 pounds).
- Allow roast beef to rest 10-15 minutes, still covered or wrapped in foil, before carving. While the roast rests, make gravy (optional, see notes above). Use a sharp knife to cut into slices and serve!

SHIRLEY'S PERFECT RARE ROAST BEEF
My mom showed me how to make the perfect roast beef, and I mean PERFECT! I love my roast beef rare to med-rare, and this is how I do it. IMPORTANT: Take your roast out of the fridge, and let it set to get it to room temperature before baking! If you like really rare bake for 15 mins. at 500. If you like your roast beef cooked med-rare, put in for 18 mins. at 500. If you like it well done, then just burn the darn thing LOL. What's nice about this roast is, if someone likes it done a little more, please keep in mind that the end pieces will be done a little more. ***(The roast in the series of photos that I took was a 2.75 lb. bottom of the round roast. I baked it at 500 for 15 mins., then turned the oven off and left it in the oven for 1 hour for a rare roast.) The cooking time is 5 minutes per pound but I couldn't reflect that in the cooking time in the TIME section for the recipe, at the bottom so I just put in 15-30 mins, depending on size of the roast you use (3-6 lb)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Wait for a few minutes before you put your roast in, so it gets as hot as possible.
- Put the roast in a shallow pan. (I use a cookie sheet).
- Cut onion into thin rings, and put all over the top and sides of the roast using toothpicks if necessary. I sit a few slices on the bottom of my roast too.
- Sprinkle roast generously with garlic powder, or to your liking. DO NOT SALT roast, or you will dry it out.
- Put roast in the oven on the middle rack.
- Bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes per pound, then shut off oven, and let sit in the oven for 1 hour. DO NOT under any circumstances open the oven door! VERY IMPORTANT!
- After you turn off the oven and your roast has baked for l hour, take it out of the oven, and let sit for 15 minutes, to allow juices to distribute in the roast.
- I use my electric knife to cut my roast, and place on a serving dish.
- Don't forget to make the gravy!
OVEN-ROASTED WEEKEND BEEF
The recipe for the beef is based on a simple and not terribly expensive roast of beef, crusted in a sort of dry rub that is rather more tropical than what you find in most parts of New England, save those inhabited by the great John (Doc) Willoughby, who was the executive editor of Gourmet until that magazine's demise. Willoughby has championed the intersection of American winter and Caribbean spices for years. This Willoughby-ish mixture - salt and pepper, coriander and cumin, brown sugar and paprika - is wonderful on fire-cooked beef, of course, but it's still excellent when used in an oven until it goes tight and deepest brown over the meat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (or light a charcoal fire on one side of a large kettle grill, using a small pillow's worth of briquettes). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Place the roast in the bowl and rub the spices all over the meat, pressing down so they adhere.
- Place the roast on the baking sheet and cook for 45 minutes to an hour, until the meat registers an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let sit, loosely tented under foil, for 15 minutes before slicing. (Alternately, when the coals are covered with a fine ash, place the roast on the side of the grill opposite the fire. Cover, cracking the vent open a little, and cook for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the meat has reached an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees for medium-rare. Remove from the fire and let sit, loosely tented under foil, for 15 minutes before slicing.)
BEEF RIB ROAST WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY
A standing rib roast combines deep beefiness with marvelous tenderness and, naturally, has a price tag to match. But don't be intimidated. It's still a roast, after all, and that means it's easy to cook.

Steps:
- Pulse garlic, rosemary, salt, and 1 tsp pepper in a food processor until smooth, then rub all over roast. Transfer to a rack set in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan and marinate, chilled, at least 8 hours.
- Let roast stand at room temperature 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle. Roast meat, fat side up, 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat (do not touch bone) registers 110°F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Transfer to a platter and let rest, uncovered, 30 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 130°F for medium-rare).
- Do Ahead
- Beef can be marinated 1 day ahead.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a rump roast or topside roast that is at least 3 pounds in weight. Ensure it is at room temperature before cooking.
- For added flavor, marinate the roast in olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Using a vacuum sealer for marinating is more recommended.
- Sear the roast in a hot pan for a few minutes on each side before placing it in the slow cooker. Searing creates a crust that helps to seal in the juices.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the roast in a Dutch oven or covered roasting pan in the oven at 300°F for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, or 170°F for well-done.
- To make the gravy, whisk together the beef broth, cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, and red wine in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for 15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.
- Serve the roast beef with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or horseradish sauce.
Conclusion:
Off-oven roast beef is an easy and flavorful way to cook a classic dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can have a delicious and tender roast beef dinner that the whole family will love. Give this recipe a try the next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal.
