How can I cook a roast beef so it is tender and slices like butter?

Question

I have eaten wonderful beef in restaurants like this, but have never managed to make it at home.

Answer 1

Being a former chef form Canada, and knowing my roast beef, the first and third respondant had it sort of to the point, a good cut like a prime rib, top sirloin or strip loin roast, seared in a hot pan like a steak and then a low and long slow process, I like to do mine for medium, at 325 degrees, for depending on the size of the roast, 2-3 hours, that would work for a 4-6 pound roast. A simple salt, pepper and galric seasoning, dried herbs are optional ( I do like a bit of rosemary and oregano)

If your going bigger, it may take 3-4 hours, uncovered and no soup or water, that is a pot rasot, and a slow cooker is great for a chuck or blade roast, it will be tender and stew like, but for a tender juicy roast the searing and you do all sides and ends, keeps the juice in and the meat moist, and like a turkey you have to let it rest for 30-45 minutes otherwise it will be a massacure.

Answer 2

Put it in a slow cooker on low for 8hrs or high for 4hrs.
You can put some onions and celery in with it. 2 or 3 Beef boullion cubes are good with it, too . And don't forget to add water, just til the roast is covered.
You can also add potatoes and carrots. The veggies don't need to cook as long as the meat does, so you can put them in for a few hours instead of the whole time. Carrots take longer to cook than potatoes do, in a slow cooker. Add a can or two of cream of mushroom (or cream of celery) soup when it is about an hour away from being done, for a tasty and easy gravy.
Get some biscuits and you have a nice meal. :)

This is making me hungry for roast beef now, lol.

First, it's important to buy a roast that has some marbling of fat throughout.
Put the roast in a pan on tin foil that is large enough to wrap around the roast. Add one packet of french onion soup mix. Add one can of mushroom soup. Wrap the whole thing in foil. Cook at 350 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or for as long as it takes to become very tender.

You will have a very tender roast in its own gravy. Use the gravy on mashed potatoes.

Answer 5

well, you must start with a well marbled cut of meat. the more fat it has, the more tender it will be. you season it with plenty of garlic and black pepper and you wrap it in foil or in a cooking bag for a couple hours on low heat. it must be cooked slowly in an low heat oven or a low heat grill for it to come out tender. you can also throw in some sliced onions, too.

Answer 6

Cook it longer at lower temperatures.
