How to Cook an Oven Roast

Oven roasts are high in protein and vitamin B12. Once you prepare your oven roast, try the roast beef sandwich below.

Ingredients

2 lbs
(1 kg) Oven Roast (Prime Rib, Strip Loin or Rib Roast

Directions

Roast beef sandwich:
Grilled Beef Steak Sandwich with Melted Onions

Roasting Right: Low and slow’s the way to go. Roasting beef at 275°F (140°C) makes for the most tender juicy roast beef. Follow these simple steps:

1. Season 2 lb roast.  You can season with pepper, minced garlic, rosemary or thyme.  Place in shallow roasting pan without water and lid/cover. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the centre of roast, avoiding fat or bone.

note- buying an inexpensive oven thermometer is key to preparing a tasty roast.  An oven thermometer costs about $14 at Loblaws, Home Hardware, or Cnd Tire.

2. Oven-sear seasoned roast in preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for 10 minutes.

3. Reduce heat to 275°F (140°C); roast to desired doneness, when the meat is between 145° and 170°F, it’s done. If you like your roast medium-rare, aim for 145°F. If you like it well-done, shoot for closer to 165° and 170°F.  It will take between 1hr45min (med-rare to 2hr30min well-done) until done.  Remove from oven when 5°F (3°C) below finished temperatures.

4. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest at least 15 minutes until temperature rises by at least 5°F (3°C) before carving into thin slices.
