I like to cook, and I cook frequently, but there are some things it occurs to me that I've never cooked though I really enjoy eating them. For example: Roast Beef
So this week I made my first (that I can recall) Roast Beef. It was pretty good, stabbed it and stuffed 5 garlic cloves into the holes made in a 3 lb roast, rolled it in a grind of rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cooked it with a digital thermometer in it until it got to 140 at the core... then let it rest for a bit as the core kept coming up in temp.
When I cut through the nice crunchy crust through the nice pink insides I knew I'd cooked it just about perfect.
And as cold leftovers, I think it might have actually gotten better.
Good roast beef is a truly wonderful thing. Yesterday, I came very close to buying a leg of lamb to roast. I think I'll have to do that again soon. The 7 hour slow cooking recipe I tried last time was fantastic.
