16 years agolast modified: 9 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.

High Heat Cooking Instructions for Beef
=======================================

==============================
. 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.

Fear of cooking corned beef...
Comments (46)Because of this thread, I bought and cooked corned beef brisket last week. It was wonderful!! Very tender and very flavorful. I wondered why I don't cook them more often. Because of this thread I learned to buy a "flat." Until this thread, I did not know there was a difference, or even a choice. I opted for the long simmer in the oven, rather than the bake. I wanted something that would take little of my attention because I was in the middle of making the "car bomb" cupcakes. Rather than cooking the veggies with the brisket, I cooked them separately, mainly because I wanted to make skillet-roasted potatoes (not a fan of boiled potatoes). We got 2 meals out of it, then I got a corned beef sandwich and to finish up the "crumbs," I made a dab of corned beef salad to munch on with crackers. I ♥ CF...See MoreNeed ideas what to do with beef/pork roast
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. Serves 8...See MorePork loin roast advice
Comments (26)Sour Cream Rye Bread from "The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook" by Beth Hensperger, (2000) Havard Common Press, Boston, MA page 139 2-pound loaf 3/4 cup water 2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 7/8 cup sour cream 3 TBLSP dark honey or molasses 3 TBLSP vegetable oil 2 1/2 cups bread flour 1 1/2 cup dark rye flour 1 1/2 TBLSP instant potato flakes 1 TBLSP + 2 tsp. gluten 1 TBLSP + 1 tsp. caraway seeds 1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander seeds 2 tsp. salt 1 TBLSP bread machine yeast or 2 1/2 tsp. SAF yeast Add wet ingredients and then dry ingredients into loaf pan in the bread machine. Use the standard setting. I bake mine in the bread machine but you can use the dough setting I guess. If using the bread machine to bake, set the crust on medium. Beth says the loaf is delicate when coming out of the pan so remove carefully and cool it standing on its side. I left it in the bread pan overnight to cool so didn't notice any delicacy taking it out. Lpink's notes: I used low fat sour cream and some non fat greek yogurt since I was almost out of sour cream. I drastically reduced the caraway and corriander. I used crushed caraway since I don't like seedy rye. I think I only used about 1/3 of both for the recipe. The flavor was still good with just that amount. I also used somewhat less salt, again maybe 1 1/2 tsp. I used half honey and half molasses for the sweetener. I also used some whole wheat bread flour in place of the plain bread flour, but not a whole lot, like maybe the equivalent of 1/2 cup for this recipe....See MoreHow do I cook a rump roast?
Comments (40)When I want rare roast beef for sandwiches like the stuff in the deli, my choice is sirloin tip, but I've been known to use eye of round. I have a small slicer and if I get those very thin slices, it's all tender. I'm not a fan of pot roast because I like my beef rare. I used to make them for Mother, but now she says they are "too tough", even if they are falling apart and she especially dislikes the "strings" of chuck roast. The difference in rump and chuck is that I find chuck to be "stringy" more than rump roast. When I do make either, I put them in the crockpot with vegetables, cook them all day, then thicken the juices for gravy. I give the beef to the dog and eat the vegetables, LOL. Sometimes I make hot beef sandwiches, but Elery has decided that "carbs are evil", so he won't eat mashed potatoes or bread and he dislikes gravy. Mother also dislikes gravy, although she'll eat it if I call it "sauce". (grin) She'd starve before she'd eat mashed potatoes, so it's a big treat for me when I make those. She loves the vegetables in pot roast, though, and I can't figure out how to get the vegetables that way without the roast! Annie...See Moredlundin
