METHOD
- SEASON ROAST Place in shallow roasting pan. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer into centre of roast avoiding fat or bone.
- OVEN-SEAR by placing uncovered roast in preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for 10 minutes.
- REDUCE heat to 275°F (140°C); cook uncovered to desired doneness, removing from oven when 5°F (3°C) below finished temperature. (Bone-in roast can take 30 to 45 minutes less.)
- COVER with foil and let stand for at least 15 minutes before carving into thin slices.
Note: I always use the method from the beef experts at Canada Beef
