The Easiest Perfect Roast Beef
"This is the best way to cook a roast and it will turn out perfect every time. I've cooked hundreds of roasts over the years, with decent results until I learned the simple trick of the oven temperature. Now the results are decadent! Feel free to use any spices or oil of your choice,and as much as you like. Another important tip is to use a rack or vegetables like onions,carrots,& celery to keep the roast off the bottom of the pan. A meat thermometer is also your best friend in this recipe as you want the internal temp to be 130. Yes, it takes a while to roast but requires no effort. For those that like a crispy outer you can also take the roast out when internal temp is around 118, preheat oven to 500 and pop it back in for an additional 10-15mins...although I find no need for this step. When you cook a roast at this lower temperature the result will be:
Evenly cooked from the middle to the edge
Melt in your mouth moist
Little loss in the size of the roast"

I must have had a much bigger roast when posting. Lately they have been done in an hour ..to 3 hours, depending on the size.

<p>I post what I cook. It's an eclectic, and hopefully simple collection of recipes. I'd love to post most of what I cook, but frankly I'm not good at the measurements and I tend to be a 'add a dash of this and that' kinda cook. As a result, I can be a little lazy in posting recipes. I strive to make large meals that don't cost a lot, I've got 4 kids. Yes they eat what I post :) My main goal these days is to get the most out of what we pay for groceries...with 5 large eaters me, we're on a 'below low income level' budget, it's important to buy cheap and cook around the ingredients. Some recipes come from splurges ;) Use the recipes as a guidline and modify to suit your tastes.</p>
