HOW TO COOK RARE ROAST BEEF RECIPES

Steps:

• Season the prime rib liberally on all sides with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with the garlic powder and herbs de Provence. Tent the meat loosely with foil, and allow it to stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack set in the middle.
• Line a roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil and position a flat or V-shaped roasting rack inside of it.
• Set an extra-large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, place the prime rib, fat side down, in the skillet. Sear the meat, undisturbed, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the prime rib so it is bone side down, and sear for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Transfer the prime rib with bone-side down to the middle of the roasting rack.
• Roast the prime rib until it reaches an internal temperature of 80°F, 50-70 minutes, depending on the size of the roast. While the meat is roasting, prepare the vegetables.
• Cut the vegetables into uniform thicknesses. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into large florets. Keep carrots whole and trim all but a couple of inches of the green tops. Cut bell peppers or onions into wedges. Halve Brussels sprouts, etc.
• Place the vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss the vegetables with a rubber spatula until they are evenly covered in oil.
• When the prime rib reaches an internal temperature of 80°F, arrange the vegetables on the roasting rack around the meat (or underneath the rack if you'd like them to brown). Continue roasting the prime rib and vegetables until vegetables are tender and slightly charred, and meat reaches an internal temperature of 120-145°F, depending on desired doneness, 30-35 minutes.
• Check to see that prime rib and vegetables are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
• Allow the prime rib to rest on the rack for 15-30 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and untie. Thinly slice the meat from the outside of the roast, then cut the bones away from the rest of the roast meat and slice between them. Carve the rest of the meat into thin slices, and serve the meat and bones immediately with the roasted vegetables. Refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days or freeze up to 6 months.

Steps:

• 1. Remove the beef from the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cook it, to let it come up to room temperature.
  2. Preheat the oven to 240°C/475°F/ gas 9.
  3. Wash and roughly chop the vegetables – there’s no need to peel them. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled.
  4. Pile all the veg, garlic and herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with oil.
  5. Drizzle the beef with oil and season well with sea salt and black pepper, then rub all over the meat. Place the beef on top of the vegetables.
  6. Place the tray in the oven, then turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  7. If you’re doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them – get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking.
  8. Baste the beef halfway through cooking and if the veg look dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them from burning.
  9. When the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so. Cover it with a layer of tin foil and a tea towel and leave aside while you make your gravy, horseradish sauce and Yorkshire puddings.
