Pondering if this is innuendo or not

I cook my Sunday roast nice and simple, foil covered for all but the last half hour, tatties roasting underneath

Wrap it in tin foil ...put in the oven on a very low light and leave in oven for 5 or 6 hours ...

"Wrap it in tin foil ...put in the oven on a very low light and leave in oven for 5 or 6 hours ... "

I prefer a higher heat, half hour/lb plus half hour.

The oven is hotter too for doing my Yorkies

I leave it out of the fridge for a few hours, season with salt and pepper and rub a little olive oil over it - cover with foil then uncover for the last 45 mins / hour.

Put foil back on after taking it out of the over and let it rest for 30 mins or so

I want a roast now!

But can someone else cook it please!

It's only small, 562 grams.

Right so it's from my mates nans farm, it was wet when I had it like fresh not frozen so I've let it stand at room temp for 20 minutes. Wrap it in foil now is it and stick it in the oven on 200 to start then turn it down and take it out the foil for the last half hour and leave it stand for half hour?

I better have a snack now then cos this ain't gonna be ready till tea time.

You're a chef aren't you, 4-5 hours even for a small joint, 562 grams?

The time is for a small joint just for 1

A larger joint for 2 or Mor will take longer.

I've got my roast beef in the oven now

I line my roasting dish with foil and enough to wrap the whole lot in a parcel.

Parsnips, carrots and onions on the bottom under the beef. Season with loads of coarse ground pepper and a bit of salt. I put water in the bottom too and wrap it up in a parcel. Roast for about 5-6 hours on 140. Make my gravy from the juices in the dish.

I cook lamb the same way, just use different seasonings.

I agree just on with mine now

Makes awsome gravy and cooks far better sat on a bed of veggies and chopped onion

Let your beef rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours and season it with salt ,pepper and olive oil. Take a hot pan and put joint in znd brown on all sides. Take it out and put it in a roasting tin that has carrots, onions and celery cut up in chunks on the bottom of tin. Put in oven @ 200° for 1 hour (medium rare).1 and 1/2 hours for medium. Let it rest on a trellis for 20 minutes before serving. Remove veg from tin and degrade with a cup of water, so red wine, large knob of butter and some flour and stir under a constant heat for 15 mins for a perfect gravy.Hey presto.... or you could just let me come round and do it for you

Depending on how you like it cooked 2hrs is too long

I put mine in a large pan with onions and some stock, bring it to the boil then let it simmer for however long I decide, it doesn't dry up and it tastes better than roasted (my opinion).

Mine goes in the slow cooker and is cooked in the gravy. I also add carrots and shallots so half my veg is also done and enhances the flavour of the beef.

If my daughter is not eating with me then I also add a couple of spoons of horseradish sauce to the gravy.

A piece of meat that size would cook in about 30 - 40 mins! I'm not surprised it's dried up!

It's ok, nothing like my aunties beef. I cooked on high heat for half hour then turned it down to 140 for another 70 minutes, it's juicey (ish) but not crumbling like when my auntie does it.

Butter gives a velvety finnish to the gravy.
