I based this on Elise's Roast Beef, but had to make a few edits:
1. Our roast was 2.5kg so times were reduced and it was ready after 1 hr 25 mins in the oven(including the browning time which was reduced from 30 mins to 20 mins)
2. I trimmed the layer of fat off before roasting.
Thanks for this recipe Elise!!!
I even made the gravy which is a first too!!!! It was delicious, I kind of did it by eye and taste, I wish I kept a note of what I had done, but it was lovely.... just hope I can recreate it. But I used red wine and stock along with the juices from the beef and some corn flour.
Happy Easter and congrats on a succulent piece of beef.
ReplyDeleteI would have kept the fat...keeps the meat moist during roasting and you can separate the fat from the drippings before making the sauce.
Yum! I love Roast Beef! Happy Easter, Ruth!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you too Peter! I used to keep the fat in the pre packed ones but hubby complained that ti always tasted "funny", so I removed it one time and he didn't complain. It's just habit now because I know he'd push it to the side and not eat it if I left it on..... the things we do for our loved ones eh?
ReplyDeleteHey Dell! Thanks! I've kept as much of the gravy as I could to do something else with tonight.
Happy Easter Katie! Roast beef is great! A fantastic and very simple meal.

Hey Maria, thank you!!! Happy belated Easter to you too!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Easter to you and your's Ruth!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on that roast. I do roasts all the time now. It is a Sunday staple. I even do a slow-cooker roast during the week. Put it in the crock pot before going to work, come home and have a completed dish.
Hey Mr Orph!!! Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really should invest in a crock pot sometime..... suppose I should find a space for it in the kitchen before buying it though lol.
