Best Cast Iron Roast Beef Recipes

CAST IRON ROAST BEEF RECIPE (GF/GAPS/KETO/PALEO)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F. Season beef generously with salt and pepper or spice rub.
• Tie with butcher's twine in three places, evenly spaced apart.
• Heat oil in a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat, and sear beef on all sides to a dark golden brown.
• Transfer beef to oven, and cook to desired internal temperature, about 40 minutes for medium (internal temperature of 140° F). When squeezed on both sides with two fingers, the meat should give to pressure, but not feel flimsy or too soft.
• Remove from oven, and rest covered with foil for 15 minutes.
• After removing beef from oven, place skillet over medium-high heat on stove and add beef stock.
• Reduce the stock by half, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release drippings (yummy bits!).
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Boil beets covered by two inches of salted water until they are tender. Or roast wrapped in foil at 400° F until tender.
• Cool, and remove skin with peeler or side of a small spoon.
• Slice and reheat in a pan with apple cider and a few pinches of salt.
• In a small amount of butter over medium heat, sauté squash until it begins to brown.
• Add tomatoes and cook until they begin to wilt. Sprinkle with fresh thyme.
