Ingredients

  • 1 kg Beef Roast

Directions

  1. Season roast. Place in shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the centre of the roast, avoiding fat or bone.
  2. Oven-Sear by placing the uncovered roast in a preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for 10 minutes.
  3. **Reduce heat to 275°F (140°C); cook uncovered to desired doneness, removing from oven when 5°F (3°C) below finished temperature. (Bone-in roast can take 30 to 45 minutes less.)
  4. Cover with foil and let stand for at least 15 minutes before carving into thin slices.

**Not around to turn it down? Skip Step 2 and roast at a constant 275°F (140°C). This is especially good for less tender cuts and smaller roasts (less than 1 kg/2lb). Allow approximately 15% longer cook time.
