Jeffrey’s Favourite Recipe – Roast Beef

No Christmas celebration is complete without roast beef on the holiday feast.  The taste of christmas, roast beef is simply classic holiday food. This dish has been around since the 1800s when beef was introduced to European cuisine. Roast beef is great to serve at holiday parties, but what makes this food so special?

When you think about Christmas, nothing brings holiday cheer like roast beef. The taste of this meat may not be unique to Christmas; in fact, it is common  throughout the year. However, it is a classic holiday food that has stood the test of time. When you think about the perfect meal for Christmas dinner, roast beef comes to mind.

The main reason why roast beef is great to serve during the holidays is because not only is it delicious, but it’s also very easy to make . You can make it the day before and put it in the oven to heat up when you need it. You can also cut a piece of roast beef, throw some potatoes on the stove, and steam some vegetables for an easy meal. No wonder this is one of Jeffrey’s favorite recipes.

Here is Jeffrey’s favorite Roast Beef recipe instruction:

Letting the roast sit uncovered at room temperature for 1-2 hours before roasting will give your dinner that awesome crispy exterior you’ve been looking for. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees then rub oil, garlic cloves into all sides of meaty pieces (don’t forget about those yummy herbs!) 

Put in a pan fitted with an aluminum foil covered rack and place it on top of two burners where there’s enough space between them so they don’t touch each other or bottom element; sear both sides until browned evenly without burning–about 15 minutes total cooking time including resting after removing from heat source but not during hydrating phase). Next reduce heat back down again 325 degrees. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 30 minutes.
