Sunday Best Roast Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a heavy hand, season rib-eye roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a roasting pan. Place beef in hot pan and sear until deep golden brown on all sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare, making an approximate hour of cooking time. Remove the pan from oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Allow meat to rest for at least 15 minutes, tented with foil, before carving.
• Gravy:
• Pour off excess fat from the Dutch oven (reserve for Thyme for Yorkshire Pudding, if desired) and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft and brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Deglaze the pot with 1/2 cup of the wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Add remaining wine, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add stock and simmer until reduced again by about half. Pass the gravy through a fine mesh sieve and return to the pan. Bring back to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until desired gravy consistency is reached. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Carve beef against the grain, into thin slices, and serve with gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Season the meat on all sides with the Essence, salt, and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven and brown on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pan and add the onion slices and thyme sprigs. Place the roast on top of the onions, fat side up. Add the beef broth to the pan and place in the oven, uncovered. Roast until the beef is tender and registers an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Transfer the roast to a platter or cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, use a slotted spoon to discard the onions and thyme sprigs. Place the Dutch oven over medium-high heat to heat the beef drippings. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until dissolved. Add the cornstarch mixture to the beef drippings and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully transfer to a gravy boat or decorative bowl.
• Carve the beef thinly and arrange the slices on large plates with rice on the side. Drizzle gravy over each portion and serve alongside of the Easy Rice.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

• In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the rice, water, butter and salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Steps:

• Season the meat well with salt and pepper, then heat some oil in a Dutch oven or large pan and brown the bottom round roast on all sides. (Before searing, you can also rub the meat with things like crushed garlic, fresh, chopped herbs and ground spices to add flavor - whatever you prefer.) Cook the roast in a large cooking pot, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Place a layer of chopped onions beneath the meat. Add liquid to the pot until it reaches 1/3 of the way up the side meat (water, beef broth, vegetable stock, wine, beer or a combination). Cook on low heat for several hours. (Cooking on low heat for a long period of time melts the fat and breaks down the connective tissue inside the meat, leaving it flavorsome and fork tender. Cooking it on a high heat for a shorter period of time would result in a much tougher, drier piece of meat.) • Oven: If you're cooking the roast in a Dutch oven, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and slow roast the meat for 3 to 4 hours, depending on the weight. A 3 to 4 pound roast will typically take about 4 hours to cook - it's done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 to 170 degrees F. • Slow Cooker: If you're cooking the roast in a slow cooker, it will take about 7 hours on the low heat setting. • Stove top: If you're cooking the roast on the stove top, you should use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and slowly simmer the meat over a low heat. Make sure to cover the saucepan to keep the meat nice and moist. Add the vegetables toward the end of cooking time to ensure that they are perfectly cooked. Remove the meat and set it aside to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, covered with foil. Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables from the dish to a bowl. Pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat. If you want to thicken the sauce, whisk with a flour/water mixture; if you want to thin the sauce, add some beef broth, wine or water. Cut the roast by slicing it or pulling it apart with a fork.

Steps:

• Prepare the Roast: Adjust the rack to the bottom of the oven and heat to 425 degrees F. Blot any excess moisture from the roast, rub the Worcestershire sauce over the entire roast, and allow to marinate for 30 minutes, turning it twice.
• Combine the powdered garlic, onion powder, paprika, and 1 tablespoon coarse-ground pepper in a small bowl; sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast, pressing it, and let the roast stand for 20 to 30 minutes. Rub the meat with 2 teaspoons salt, place fat side up in a shallow roasting pan, and roast for 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F and continue to roast until the meat's internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F -- about 2 hours. Let the roast stand for 20 minutes before slicing.
• Prepare the Gravy: Skim any fat from the liquid that remains in the roasting pan. Whisk the flour and 1/2 cup water together to a paste; set aside.
• Scrape the drippings from the bottom of the roasting pan, add the beef broth, and stir over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer. While continuously whisking, add the flour paste and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. If needed, add a little water to thin the gravy. Add remaining salt and pepper; serve warm. (I thought the gravy was a little to thin and I didn't add the extra salt or pepper.).
