"Deli" Roast Beef




Source of Recipe


Susan Wicks


List of Ingredients




1 nice lean rump roast
2 tbsp. oil
seasonings of your choice:
plain salt/pepper is good, cajun seasoning is good.
Or just use Italian dressing in place of the oil & other seasonings.

Recipe



Preheat oven to 500°F. (260°C)

Coat the roast with oil & rub entire surface with seasonings.

Roast for ten minutes at high temperature.

Lower oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and finish roasting for 15 minutes per pound. (if your roast is more marbled/fattier, roast for 20 minutes per pound)

Let set for at least ten minutes before slicing.

This gives a nice tender rare roast which is a good starting place for many dishes. If you like your beef on the rare side, it's splendid for sandwiches, etc. It's rare enough that additional cooking won't turn it into shoe leather. Increase the roasting time if you'd rather have it not-so-rare, but take care not to sacrifice tenderness.
