Temperature for Roast Fore Rib of Beef

We have the ultimate treat today for all you foodies out there. This is a classic Sunday recipe with a beef joint that helps you to learn how to cook melt in the mouth beef. Roast fore rib beef is extremely tender and makes for a gorgeous family lunch with the kids, or guests. This is a fantastic spread for beef roast dinner and will impress guests, or the kids. It could well turn into a go to for you. Believe it or not, this is an easy recipe for a tender roast, so give it a go and let us know how you get on. You never know, it might turn into a family favorite.

We have opted to use fore rib for our perfect melt in the mouth beef. This is because it is one of the leaner cuts of beef, which helps to improve both the flavour and the roasting process. It is possible to adapt this method to turn it into a slow cooker recipe. To do so, just follow the instructions for your slow cooker, both at the low temperature and the higher settings, adjusting cooking times accordingly. For example, you could cook this for 8 hours on the low setting for a family of four.

Ingredients for our roast beef recipe

For the Fore rib

If you can use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of your beef after cooking, this is the best way of making sure cooking time is right, and it is cooked as you like it. Check point 5 for the cooking times you need for mouth tender beef.

• Roasting pan for the beef joint,
• 3.5kg of fore rib cut of beef. Chined and 2 bone min,
• 30ml olive oil,
• Sea salt,
• Freshly ground black pepper,
• Shallots (6), and halve them,

• Few sprigs thyme,
• 3 cloves garlic (could use garlic powder here if you wanted to),
• 75ml of port, and
• 1tbsp cornflour; mix this into a paste with the water.

For the gravy

• 200ml strong beef stock, and
• 100ml red wine

For the roast potatoes

• 1kg Maris Piper potatoes,
• 125g fat, preferably duck or goose fat,
• 2tsp flour,
• Sea salt, and
• 2 sprigs of fresh herbs, we use chopped rosemary for the perfect roast potatoes.

How to cook melt in the mouth beef: Our instructions

You need a relatively hot oven, so pop it on before the prepare the rest of the food

1. Firstly, you need to make sure the beef is a room temperature. Then rub with oil and season really well, this will give your roast beef the best start possible to help create that melt in the mouth roast beef
2. Roast the beef, after sitting it up on the bone at 220C degrees for 20 minutes.
3. Remove the meat from the oven, and drop the heat down to 180C degrees.
4. Grab your shallot halves, and the garlic, and add them to the beef and the roasting tin (If you are using a slow cooker, add these about half way through cooking; or adjust for personal preference)
5. Now oven roast for 12mins per 500g for rare. 15mins for med rare. (Internal temp after cooking is 50 for rare, 54 for med rare). Make sure that you give the full cooking time if you have a large cut of beef. However, be careful you don't get overcooked beef, so keep an eye on the time, perhaps using a timer for accuracy.
6. Remove the meat from your oven or slow cooker, and cover with a little foil while it rests
7. Pour the cooking juices into a small jug to allow them to settle over the next few minutes, and then skim off the fat, and other impurities.
8. Put the tray on a high heat on your hob, and then stir and remove any of the bit of meat from the mixture. If you have used a slow cooker, you can do this in a frying pan
9. Add the meat juices and other gravy ingredients and stir. Reduce the liquid you have by about a quarter (25%) Add the cornflour paste to thicken it
10. For making the roast potatoes, you need to Peel them, and then cut into 50mm pieces, or quarter the potatoes. Again, the size of your potatoes is personal preference, but we have found that slightly smaller can make for crispier roasties, particularly when using Goose / Duck fat.
11. Pass your spuds to the pan, with just enough water to cover them and them bring them to the boil
12. Once they have boiled, drop the heat a little and cook for a further 2 minutes
13. Take them out of the pan, and drain with a colander and then put them back into your pan,
14. Shake them INSIDE the pan – this makes the edges of them slightly rough, then add flour to the pain and shake again. Make sure you are gentle as you don't want to break up the potatoes. Don't overboil either, as this will result in your potatoes "falling"
15. Add your duck fat to a roasting tray in the oven, set at 220C degrees. Heat until it is smoking hot, and then gently add the potatoes to the hot fat on a single layer. Don't just drop them into the oil, as you don't want to get splashed with the hot duck fat
16. Roast the potatoes for approximately 40 minutes. Turn them after about 15 minutes, and then towards the end of the cooking time – so with about 5 minutes to go
17. Once they are as you like them – crispy we hope – serve with the sea Salk and rosemary sprinkled on top, and
18. Finally cut lovely slices of your tender beef thickly, and serve with your gravy and all the trimmings.

We think that this recipe will give you some wonderfully tender beef. We hope it works for you.

Other serving suggestions include some gorgeous baby carrots to go with the roast potatoes, and fore rib. Don't forget that if you don't manage to eat all the beef you have here, the slices will be perfect for roast beef sandwiches for a few days afterwards too, if you keep them in the fridge after cooling down.

We do have a recipe card for this if you would like to print this out too?
