So many people complain about trying the perfect roast beef dinner but always have a dry roast beef come out of their oven. Well following these easy steps you will have the perfect roast beef every time

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Roast beef (the main thing)
  • A good roasting pan (The one your grandmother always used works great)
  • mixed spices
  • heavy duty tin foil
  1. Step 1

    Starting with your oven, Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F which in Celsius is 175 degrees. Place roast in pan with if any fat side up so to let the fat drip downwards to bottom of pan. DO NOT POKE THE ROAST AT ANY TIME TO CHECK TENDERNESS BECAUSE ANY HOLES IN THE ROAST WILL START DRYING THE ROAST UP

  2. Step 2

    spices to use are up to you but using a Montreal steak spice mix with a little bit of Coarser salt rubbed into the roast works great. But using any sort of spice you like works great too. Place tinfoil on roast for half of the cooking time so as to let the roast cook from the inside out.
    For the remaining time remove tinfoil to get a crispy outside of your roast

  3. Step 3

    Depending on roast size a roast will take from 45 min up to 3 hours
    starting at 5lb roast 45 min total time for medium rare
    Add a additional 15 min for every 5lbs added to the roast
    10lbs 60 min = 1 hour
    15lbs 90 min = 1 hour 30 min
    20lbs 105 min = 1 hour 45 min

Tips & Warnings
  • For a more juicer roast keep tinfoil on the whole cooking time
  • Do not Poke your roast for any reason during cooking time so as not to dry roast out
  • ONCE ROAST IS COOKED TO YOUR LIKING LET THE ROAST REST FOR APPROX 1 HOUR ON TOP OF YOUR STOVE
  • KEEP STOVE CLOSED AT ALL TIME SO YOU KEEP THE HEAT FROM GOING UP AND DOWN IN TEMP
