Perfectly Cooked Roast Beef Recipe

Time to table: About 90 minutes for a 4-pound roast

1 boneless beef roast, any size or a standing rib roast

Meat rub of choice (don’t skip)

Heat oven to 500F.

Weigh the roast, then place in a large roasting pan lined with foil for easy clean-up. Pat the meat dry, then pat with the meat rub, covering the entire roast. Insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.

Roast at 500F for 5 minutes per pound.

Now turn the oven off, yes, you read that right – turn the oven OFF – no opening the oven door either. It’s hard but you can do it.

Let the roast sit in the oven until the meat reaches the desired temperature, 115F-120F for extra rare, 125F-130F for rare, 130F-140F for medium rare, 140F-150F for medium, 150F-155F for medium well, 160F-212F for well done.

Remove from oven and cover with foil for 5 – 30 minutes before slicing. It will drop a degree or two in temperature but won’t get cold.

Slice, serve and enjoy!
