RIB ROAST COOK TIME CHART RECIPES

Steps:

• Method: In a braising pan or large heavy enameled cast iron casserole, brown the roast on all sides in the oil until the outside is slightly charred and richly colored. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the remaining fat.
• Salt and pepper the meat to taste, and sprinkle with an herb. Thyme is a favorite because it has a pungency that is most effective with beef, but you could use rosemary or summer savory, which would give an entirely different quality. Add the bay leaf, cinnamon, onions, garlic, parsley, and leek. Pour in the liquid of your choice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and either simmer on top of the stove over very low heat, allowing 30 to 35 minutes per pound, or cook in a 325°F oven, allowing 35 minutes a pound, about 3 hours, until the meat is quite tender. Add more liquid if needed.
• Remove the meat to a hot platter to rest for about 15 minutes and skim the fat from the pan juices. If you want more gravy, strain the liquid, pour additional wine or beef stock into the pan and bring to a boil. Thicken the juices with little balls of butter and flour, kneaded together. Let it reduce until it lightly coats a spoon

Steps:

• Peel and dice your celery, carrots, and onion.
• Place the onion, salt, pepper, thyme, and olive oil in your slow cooker and brown your topside on both sides and top and bottom until you have a wonderful brown colour on your topside.
• Remove the topside from the slow cooker and add in carrots, celery, and stock. Stir.
• Add the topside over the vegetables and place the lid on your slow cooker. Cook for four hours on high and then allow to cool for a further hour in the slow cooker to allow it be even more tender.
• Remove the beef and blend the contents of the slow cooker using a hand blender. Taste it and add extra salt if needed.
• Carve your roast beef.
• Serve together your slow cooker roast beef and gravy with your preferred sides.
