How best to cook a 13 lb. Beef Loin Strip Roast?
Comments (11)
19 years agolast modified: 11 years agoHi Moo, and welcome to the forum. The only way that I would roast that great piece of beef is using Barbara Kafka's High Heat method. Pretty much fool proof. We prefer our beef rare so I normally take it out of the oven when the temperature registers around 115. The temperature will continue to rise as it sits for at least 20 minutes.

==============================
. General Instructions (for Barbara Kafka's "Roasting A Simple Art")
"Different meats and different cuts have different cooking times. That's
why there are recipes. I did try to find a universal rule so that I could
say as I do for fish, "ten minutes per inch" or for chicken "ten minutes per
pound," and then describe the exceptions. It didn't work. Timing is as
much a factor of fat content, bone content, and the shape of the roast as a
specific kind of meat.The only easy rules are for boneless loin of pork or beef (the shell or
strip) and venison and beef fillet. They always cook in the same amount of
time since the only way they increase in size is according to their length,
which will not influence the cooking time."This is her recipe for a Simple Rib Roast
4 1/2 pound without short ribs Standing rib roast (2 Ribs) or 26 Pound
standing rib roast (7 ribs total) 2 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
Kosher salt to taste Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups red
wine for deglazing 1 recipe for Yorkshire pudding.Roast should be at room temperature, not taken directly from the fridge.
Place oven rack on the second level from the bottom. Heat oven to 500F.Place small roast in a 14 X 12 X2 inch roasting pan. bone side down. The
large roast will need an 18 X 13 X 2 inch roasting pan. Snuggle most of the
garlic, is using, under the fat and spread remainder under the meat.
Season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 45 minutes. With meat in
oven, reduce heat to 325° and roast for an additional 3 minutes per pound.(
i.e.: 4lb =12minutes, 7lb = 21 minutes, 26 lb =78 minutes)
etc..Increase heat to 450°F and roast for another 15 minutes regardless of
size. Meat temperature should read 135 on an instant - read thermometer.
If you like it more rare, reduce the additional 3 minutes per pound to 2
minutes or for less rare, increase the 3 minutes to 5 minutes.Remove roast from oven. Transfer to a serving platter. Pour or spoon off
excess fat, reserving about 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of fat. Put pan over high
heat and add wine. Deglaze pan well scraping with a wooden spoon. Let
reduce by half. Pour liquid into a small saucepan and reserve.
For Whole New York Strip Loin, the directions are a little bit different.According to Barbara Kafka's instructions, it doesn't matter what size the New York strip roast is the directions are the same.
Roasted New York Strip Loin
one 10 pound New York Strip (16 inches) Trussed
1 head of garlic
cloves lightly smashed and peeled, optional
3 to 4 springs fresh thyme
kosher salt
pepper
1 1/2 cup basic beef stock or a combination of beef stock, veal stock or red wine
2 tablespoons basic veal glaze optional.Place oven rack on second level from the top of the oven, or second from the bottom if the fat cover is thick. Heat oven to 500°F.
Place strip of beef in an 18 x 12 x 2 inch roasting pan. If using, slip whole cloves of garlic between underside of meat and string. Tuck in the thyme. Slip some more garlic under the string along the top of the meat. Sprinkle the meat on all sides liberally with salt and pepper. Put into oven one hour before it will be served. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes.
Remove and transfer meat to a platter. Cut off strings. Remove the garlic cloves that are too blackened to use. Pour fat from pan. Put the roasting pan on top of the stove. Add stock or wine and the veal glaze, if using and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Add flavorings, if using, and any juices that have collected in the platter on which the beef is resting. Let reduce by half. Taste for salt and pepper, pour into a sauceboat and serve.
Roasted Whole beef Fillet
According to Barbara........"I buy the meat by the inch. It cooks exactly the same way no matter the length as long as it s more than 4 inches long. When ordering, I usually allow about an inch and a quarter per person and an extra half inch for the two end slices. By this rule, six people will require an eight inch piece of fillet. The muscles in a fillet all run lengthwise so that when it is sliced a crossed the serving it is also tenderized.
The fillet is also called the tenderloin, and it is tender. It is a long round muscle that hides behind the bones on which the shell steak and the rib roast reside. T-bone steaks have some of the shell and, on the other side of the bone, a circle of the fillet, or tenderloin. A filet mignon is a slice cut a crossed the whole fillet to make an individual steak.
4 to 5 pound whole beef fillet (about 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter, a good 18 inches long)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup red wine for deglazing, optional, or 1 recipe semi-perigourdine saucePlace oven rack on second level from bottom. heat oven to 500°F
Place fillet in an 18 x 12 x 2 inch roasting pan. Rub fillet with butter and oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. roast for 10 minutes. turn. roast 10 minutes more. Transfer fillet to a serving platter. Pour or spoon off excess fat. Put pan on top of the burner. Add the wine or sauce and bring contents to a boil while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by half. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips for slow-roasting a beef tenderloin in oven?
Comments (30)"Dcarch- I'm thinking that any thermometer that involves a leave-in probe (wireless, the one that comes with the oven, or an in-oven digital model) can conduct heat in the way that you describe, resulting in potentially inaccurate readings. Do you agree, or is the kind that comes with the oven particularly bad when it comes to this?" For cooking temperature probe measurements, thermocouple based probe are typically used. Thermostat controls for the oven are typically capillary hydraulic devices. In order to achieve quick response and less thermal distortion, the probe needs to be as small as possible, this will make the probe and electronics more expensive (see Thermopen's probe size) to make. Thermostatic control for ovens, depending on whether they are electric, gas, or convection, are all very complicated and inherently inaccurate. "---use a remote Thermometer that has a wireless transceiver so I can take it with me around the house and see exactly what the temp is. The wires have no problem being closed in the oven door or BBQ lid. The probes are rather accurate IMO. ---" If your house has metal siding or stucco walls with metal lath, your wireless thermometer may not work. If your thermometer cable is designed for high temperature (silicone or fiberglass jacketed cables) there should be no problem inside an oven. Also be careful in cleaning the probe, some may not be water resistant. The probes may be accurate in the temperatures they sense, but they can introduce temperature distortions to the food you are measuring.

Comments (13)Here's a recipe I found this morning on the Food & Drink website. SLOW-BARBECUED CARIBBEAN PORK EARLY SUMMER 2007 By: Jennifer MacKenzie Braised to moist tenderness with Island seasonings, pork shoulder roast is not only economical, it's robust with flavour. If using a gas barbecue, more than 1 burner is essential to cook with indirect heat. If your barbecue doesn't have a built-in thermometer, place an oven thermometer on the unlit side beside the roast to be sure the temperature is maintained. The oven version is just as tasty and easy. Cut roast into thin slices and serve on roti, tortillas or buns and top with fresh, colourful Mango Salsa and Chili Potato Wedges (recipes follow). 4 lb (2 kg) boneless pork shoulder blade (butt) roast, tied 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp (25 mL) minced fresh ginger root 2 tbsp (25 mL) packed brown sugar 1 tbsp (15 mL) minced fresh hot pepper 1 tbsp (15 mL) dried thyme 1 tsp (5 mL) ground allspice 1 tsp (5 mL) salt ½ tsp (2 mL) ground cinnamon 1 cup (250 mL) coconut milk ¼ cup (50 mL) freshly squeezed lime juice 1. Place roast in a large foil pan (for barbecue) or a roasting pan (for oven). Combine garlic, ginger, sugar, hot pepper, thyme, allspice, salt and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the coconut milk. Spread all over roast. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, preheat the barbecue to high or oven to 350°F (180°C). 3. Combine remaining coconut milk and lime juice and pour around roast in pan. Cover entire pan with foil, sealing tightly around pan but not touching roast. 4. If barbecuing, turn 1 side of barbecue off and reduce other burner(s) to medium-high or temperature required to maintain 350°F (180°C). Place pan on unlit side of barbecue or place in oven. Grill or roast for 2 to ½ hours. 5. Uncover and baste roast with pan juices. Grill or roast, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes longer, basting twice more, until fork tender and a meat thermometer reads 170°F (75°C). Tent with foil and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. 6. Transfer roast to a cutting board, discarding pan juices. Cut off strings and cut roast into thin slices. Serve with Mango Salsa and Chili Potato Wedges. Serves 8 Mango Salsa This fresh and tangy salsa is the perfect complement to the pork. It is best made just before serving but can be covered but can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours. 2 firm ripe mangos 1 tsp (5 mL) grated lime zest 2 tbsp (25 mL) freshly squeezed lime juice 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro 1 tsp (5 mL) minced fresh hot peppers (or to taste) ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt 1. Peel mango and cut flesh from pits. Dice flesh and place in a bowl. Add lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, hot pepper and salt. Toss gently to combine. Taste and check seasonings. Makes about 2 cups (500 mL) Chili Potato Wedges Traditional foil-packet barbecued potatoes get a boost that will liven up any barbecue meal. Ancho chili powder is increasingly available and gives a nice chili flavour without overpowering heat. If you like a smoky heat, add ¼ tsp (1 mL) chipotle pepper powder to the butter mixture. The zesty dip is easily put together as the crispy-crusted potatoes cook. 3 lbs (1.5 kg) baking potatoes (russet or Yukon gold) ¼ cup (50 mL) butter, softened 1½ tsp (7 mL) ancho or other chili powder 1 tsp (5 mL) sea salt or kosher salt ¼ tsp (1 mL) freshly ground black pepper Dip 1 cup (250 mL) sour cream or mayonnaise 1 tsp (5 mL) grated lime zest ¼ tsp (1 mL) ancho or other chili powder 1. Preheat the barbecue to medium-high or oven to 350ºF (180ºC). 2. Scrub potatoes under running water. Pat dry and cut each lengthwise into 8 wedges. Place on a large piece of heavy-duty foil. 3. Mash butter, chili powder, salt and pepper together in a bowl. Drop in small dollops randomly over potatoes on foil. Top with another large piece of foil and seal both pieces together with a tightly crimped edge. Slide onto a baking sheet. 4. Slide packet off baking sheet onto grill or place on sheet in oven. Grill or bake for 30 minutes, gently shaking packet a few times and flipping over halfway. Carefully unseal a small section and check potatoes with a fork to ensure they are tender. If not, reseal and cook for 5 to 10 minutes longer. 5. Meanwhile, make dip. Combine sour cream, lime zest and chili powder in a serving bowl. 6. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. Open packet and, using a lifter, remove potatoes from foil (you may have to scrape the crispy ones) and transfer to a serving platter. Serve dip on the side.

Comments (15)Thanks islay, i will soon make that. A rustic easy prep is my game indeed. I don't have muffin tins of any kind, never have for some reason but will improvise with ramekins? Also late to the party having just spent the weekend harvesting yet again. I just made a wonderful vegetable soup using a smoked chicken stock from the freezer, creating during the drive home 'think tank'.. A nice pureed veg soup of roasted fresh harvest. Tomato. leek, shallot, celery, corn, green beans...had some left-over caramelized onions and half a baby white pumpkin i had roasted. All in the small 2 qrt soup pot when the stock came to heat...Un-packed the truck and it was ready...immersion blender and done. Nice that it did not have oil or any butter or fat at all but so rich with flavor. -I drove and husband snored the entire way home. He was shocked at the speedy outcome but cooking in my head while driving made the trip zippy fast. All the roasted veggies were from last nights dinner and a fresh tomato corn salsa. I don't consider it leftovers as i like to roast and prep soups a day ahead anyway....See MoreEye of round roast - how do you cook yours?
Comments (9)It's very lean, and thus easy to dry out when cooking. I like to use it for making jerky. If you’re trying to go low-carb, you need some snacks that are low-carb, tasty and satisfying. Beef jerky meets those criteria, but buying $4 bags of jerky will bankrupt you. If you have a dehydrator, you can make large quantities of jerky far more economically than buying it. If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can get cooling racks that fit a half-sheet pan, or vertical racks on which you hang the seasoned raw beef strips, which you then place in the oven at its lowest setting for several hours. (You’re drying this, not cooking it.) --Here's a basic recipe for beef jerky that I worked up and find to be quite tasty: Guinness Beef Jerky Marinade (This amount of marinade is sufficient for about 5 to 6 pounds of beef, which I find fill my Nesco dehydrator's eight trays fairly full) 5 to 6 lbs lean beef, sliced thinly--see Note 1 2 bottles (12-14 oz each) Guinness Stout 2 tablespoons kosher salt OR 3 to 4 tablespoons soy sauce--"see Note 2 2 tablespoons garlic powder 2-4 tablespoons hot stuff --see Note 3 optional: liquid smoke, 1 to 2 tbsp In a large bowl pour stout and add salt, whisking to dissolve salt and decarbonate the stout. Add the garlic powder and hot stuff and mix well. Put the beef strips in the marinade by handfuls, swirling around to make sure all surfaces have come in contact with the marinade. Place the beef in a nonreactive container (a stainless stockpot works fine), pour the remaining marinade over the beef, mix well and refrigerate for at least an hour (more is better--overnight is fine). If you have time, mix up the beef strips every so often in the marinade. Place the strips flat on the trays and dry to your desired amount of dryness. I prefer crisp to leathery, but do it however you want. Note 1: Before slicing the beef, trim all extra fat off the surface of the meat. I like to use round roast because it's very lean; whenever possible, slice the strips across the grain. Slicing it with the grain results in a stringy final product. Eye of round costs a little more, but is very lean and also is very easy to slice across the grain, and that yields a less stringy product. Don't use a fatty cut of meat because it won't dry as thoroughly and won't have the storage properties of a leaner cut. (The fat can turn rancid.) Note 2: I have found mushroom flavored soy sauce at an Asian market. It works great in this recipe. Note 3: For the hot stuff, cayenne works well; you have to judge for yourself how hot your particular cayenne pepper is. (Mass market cayenne from brands like McCormick is relatively mild; powdered chili peppers from a Mexican or Indian market will be much hotter.) If you’re unsure, go easy with the hot stuff. You can always sprinkle a little more hot stuff on the finished product if you wish. I have used chipotle powder with good results; 4 tablespoons in this recipe makes a quite hot product, and 2 tbsp makes a pleasantly zingy one. If you want something quite mild, use sweet Hungarian paprika which would make a product not at all hot but would still have a very good flavor. You can also use smoked Spanish paprika (‘pimenton’) which comes in three degrees of hotness (sweet, bittersweet & hot). If you use that, though, or chipotle powder, don’t use any additional smoke flavor. --Don't use a hot sauce that's vinegar based (like Tabasco or Sriracha)--the vinegar taste will be concentrated in the finished product. The finished product can be stored in plastic ziplock bags in the freezer, and can be moved to the fridge when you open one. I find that a quart ziplock bag holds one Nesco tray's worth of dried jerky. Note that this recipe does not contain any curing agents like nitrates or nitrites, so I can't vouch for what would happen if you left this jerky at room temperature for several days. Storing it this way, though, I've never had any of it go bad. That's partly because it tastes so good, a bag never lasts that long once I open one....See More- 19 years agolast modified: 11 years ago
