Already set on a specific roast? Our Roast Perfect app helps you choose the right size for your meal and cook it to perfection. It’s your trusty guide to mastering any roast you desire, from start to savory finish.
Buying your roast ahead of time allows you to keep your roast at its prime until showtime.
Pro Tip: Your goal when freezing is to keep an airtight seal. Set your freezer below 0°F. The faster food freezes = smaller ice crystals. This means your beef will have better texture after thawing!
Defrost your roast in the fridge, ensure a safe and even thaw. No need to bring beef to room temperature beef before cooking. For safety, roast from fridge to oven.
Pro Tip: Keep package on tray or plate to catch any leaks. It's best to thaw on low shelf in your fridge.
Sprinkle coarse kosher salt and cracked pepper generously to elevate natural flavor. The perfect ratio of salt to pepper is 2-to-1.
Show off a little by adding fresh or dried herbs to your seasoning with flavors like...
Aromatics: garlic, onion, shallots.
Herbs: thyme, rosemary, parsley, sage, oregano.
Sweetness: brown sugar, honey, maple syrup.
Heat: peppers, horseradish, ginger, mustard.
Searing is easy and seals in juices while creating a flavorful crust.
Check out this roasting gear to get on the right start.
Pro Tip: Use a thermometer! Insert it into meat’s center (not touching bone or fat). Remove the roast when thermometer reads 5-10° F BELOW targeted temperature.
Once cooked, let the roast rest. This helps juices settle for ultimate flavor.
Pro Tip: You can tent with foil, but big roasts retain heat well.
Pro Tip: Finding the grain direction is simple! Look at the lines in the meat. Cut across those lines for the best tenderness.
Because the flavor of the season should match the flavor of your moment.
