tips for success

Let the beef come to room temperature – Let the roast sit for 30-60 minutes before cooking. This will help it cook more evenly and prevent the center from getting cold.

Cook for temperature, not time – use a meat thermometer accurately. The roast will continue to cook while resting, so remove the roast about 5-10°F short of desired doneness.

Use a Meat Thermometer for Precise Cooking – Using a meat thermometer will ensure your roast beef is perfectly cooked every time. Insert into center of roast and remove meat 5-10°F below target temperature to allow carryover cooking.

Use the drippings to make the au jus – do not throw away the drippings from the pan. Perfect for making gravy, au jus, or a simple pan sauce to elevate your final dish.
