Easy Roast Beef Dry Method Recipes

CLASSIC ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Salt the roast and let it come to room temp: The beef should be brought as close to room temperature as possible before you start to roast it, so that it cooks more evenly. Remove it from the refrigerator at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours, before cooking. Open the wrapping, sprinkle all sides with salt, and wrap it up again.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F: (190°C). Move a rack to the center of the oven, and place the other one underneath.
• Roast to an internal temp of 135°F to 140°F: When juices start to drip from the roast, and it is browned on the outside, check the roast's internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven when the internal temperature of the roast is 135°F to 140°F (for medium rare meat).
