What Is Your Favorite Roast?

ECBG — Sun, 12 Aug 2018 21:14:37 GMT

With all of the wonderful vegetables that can be grilled, stir fried, steamed, and made into salads, sometimes I want a roast after so mmany grilled meats.

This is my fave, and can be changed over to stew easily.

Eye Of Round Roast

Eye Of Roast

Salt and Pepper to taste

Kitchen Bouquet

Preheat oven to 500 degrees

Trim off fat from roast

Brush Kitchen Bouquet heavily on roast top and bottom

Place on rack in pan lined with foil

Bake at 500 degrees 5 minutes per pound for medium rare.

Turn oven OFF -DO NOT OPEN

Leave in oven for 1 and 1/2 hours.

Ready to slice.

@shortbreadloverThat's the beauty of a cold oven. The oven won't be hot but maybe 20 minutes.

To heat leftovers, I put the slices on a rack under the broiler for just a few seconds and turn.

l never buy roasts anymore as they're too much red meat for just one person. Plus I keep forgetting to arrange for financing before I head for the grocery store.

Comedy Roasts are my favorite. The last one of Bruce Willis was great!

😂

I don't buy roasts anymore, either. Just too much in the way of leftovers. A good steak from the butcher on the grill is plenty and ready in a few minutes.

I was at Whole Foods yesterday. Yee-ouch!

My mom often made an eye round like you do.

She loved beef. She told me they ate mostly chicken growing up, their own chickens

After she roasted the eye round, she had to slice up some for dad and cook his a bit more, he always wanted his beef well well done.

I love medium rare.

I cook for my kids and grandkids every Sunday.

I like a chuck roast in the crock pot.

I don't like my veggies cooked with my meat, I do them on the side.

Mostly potatoes, carrots and onions.

There are rarely leftovers after we all fix a plate.

It's rare but whenever I find a bone-in roast, I grab it.

Most roasts I find are boneless, the bone has the flavor

a chuck roast.

dredge it in some flour.......salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder

sear on all sides using a little canola oil or peanut oil or olive oil . deglaze pan with red wine, stock, or even water.

place in large roaster and roast it at about 350 for at least three hours.

with about 1/3 cooking time left, add halved potatoes, carrots, quartered vidalia onions, and sometimes stalks of celery cut into thirds. place lid on pan.

this should create a lot of natural juices/gravy and i add one jar of brown gravy or a packet of beef gravy made with milk instead of water. to make it a bit thicker add in some flour that has been mixed with water or stock or more red wine.

cannot wait until the colder weather comes around!

@ECBG

@software I cook DH's under the broiler a little because he can't tolerate under done beef. I'm totally a med rare gal.

Sometimes I'll do a Knorr AuJus packet over the slices after a few days, or do stir fry or pepper steak (pepper roast).

@Snowpuppy

I live alone and a roast is a lot, but I buy a smaller one, and then cut it in half or three pieces depending on the size when I get home. Then I put one or two pieces in the freezer. I can take care of my roast craving and not have a ton left over. I can usually get my first meal and then enough for a couple of sandwiches, or some roast beef hash.

@cookinfreak I live alone and do the same. I just want enough for one or two dinners (at the most) and a small sandwich or two. I use my slow cooker a lot. My air fryer is used several times a week too.

Prime rib. When they are on sale, my son will do one for me on his rotissiere and slice it and vacuum seal the slices.

Put in the microwave for 1 1/2 mins and just like fresh cooked. I didn't believe him when he told me that, but he was correct! It's nice to have prime rib often with no preparation!

@ECBG My son and I love pork roast the most. I cook it in the Instant Pot and make milk gravy with the drippings.

I don't cook many roasts anymore. Have been trying to buy organic, grassfed beef and those roasts are very expensive!!! But if I do find a sale on them, I prefer a chuck roast, cooked low and slow as for a pot roast dinner. We don't eat much red meat so that will give me a couple meals. Love to turn a pot roast dinner into a hearty beef/veggie soup with the leftovers. And the smell----is heavenly!!

Once a year, at Christmas, we treat ourselves and serve a standing rib roast at our family dinner. It is always soooooo good. My mouth is already watering.

I've been watching this thread, and was hoping that there'd be a response for something other than a chuck roast, eye of round or prime rib!

I love all 3, BUT, what I'd like to know is this:

A million years ago when we'd have 'roast beef' for dinner, what was the cut? I had a girlfriend whose mom made roast beef for dinner every single Sunday, and boy was that good!

Nice and rare, tender and juicy, NOT prime rib, NOT eye of round, & Lord knows, not chuck roast.

Anybody?

@sabatini

i used to make top round roasts quite often......maybe that was the cut?

"A round steak is a beef steak from the "round", the rear leg of the cow. The round is divided into cuts including the eye (of) round, bottom round, and top round, with or without the "round" bone (femur), and may include the knuckle (sirloin tip), depending on how the round is separated from the loin."
