Best Easy Roast Beef Dry Method Recipes

CLASSIC ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Salt the roast and let it come to room temp: The beef should be brought as close to room temperature as possible before you start to roast it, so that it cooks more evenly. Remove it from the refrigerator at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours, before cooking. Open the wrapping, sprinkle all sides with salt, and wrap it up again.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F: (190°C). Move a rack to the center of the oven, and place the other one underneath.
• Roast to an internal temp of 135°F to 140°F: When juices start to drip from the roast, and it is browned on the outside, check the roast's internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven when the internal temperature of the roast is 135°F to 140°F (for medium rare meat).

EASY ROAST BEEF (DRY METHOD)

Steps:

• This works well for almost any size roast! I've used it for roasts as small as 3 and as large as 10, with nearly identical results. Best cuts to start with are large, tender cuts of beef - such as a rib or sirloin roast. Sirloin-tip, rump, rolled-rump, eye-of-round or top-round roasts will also benefit from this cooking method if they are graded prime or choice.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Season roast with salt and pepper, garlic salt, steak seasoning or whatever you like, including not at all. You can also add onions and/or carrots to your dish if you wish. They will be VERY well done, but I think they are delicious.
• Put the roast fat side down in a roasting pan or a Pyrex baking pan. I don't recommend using a rack under the meat, but that's just my preference.
• Put roast in oven for one hour. For a 7 PM meal, you can start it as late as 11 AM; for a 6 PM you can start it as late as 10 AM, and so forth. Or you can start it at whatever time you get up, which is what I usually do, since I leave for work at 8.
• At the end of the hour, turn the oven off, BUT DON'T OPEN THE OVEN DOOR! If there are going to be people in the house during the day, I put a note on the oven door saying DO NOT OPEN.
• About an hour before your meal, turn the oven back on to 375 degrees for 45 minutes. I usually put my potatoes, wrapped in aluminum foil, in at this time. At the end of the 45 minutes, take the roast out, and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes. It's going to look burnt, but the meat will be wonderful! The pan drippings make great gravy, too!
• Carve and enjoy!

EASY ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 500 Degrees.
• Remove Roast beef from package and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Rub Olive Oil all over roast and put in roasting pan on a rack. (FAT SIDE UP).
• Sprinkle Garlic Powder and Black Pepper all over roast.
• Put in oven and roast at 500 degrees for 20 minutes.(do NOT open oven door during this step. You want the intense hot heat to "sear" the roast and keep in all the juices.).
• After 20 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees and continue roasting for at that temperature for 18 minutes per pound.
• *3lb Roast- 54 minutes
• *4lb Roast-72 minutes
• I generally start checking the temperature after 45 minutes of cooking at 300 degrees. When the roast reaches the required temperature (see below) remove from oven and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
• Timetable.
• Rare- 125-130 degrees.
• Medium rare- 130-140 degrees.
• Medium- 145-150 degrees.
• Well Done-155-165 degrees.
• After allowing the roast to "rest" Slice and Serve!
• Enjoy!

BEEF TENDERLOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, garlic, pepper, garlic salt and onion salt; brush over tenderloin. Place in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 45 minutes., Remove tenderloin from pan; let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, add broth to pan drippings, stirring to loosen browned bits; heat through. Serve with sliced beef.
