Cooking Tips

• For a more flavorful roast beef, marinate the beef in a mixture of garlic, herbs, and olive oil overnight before cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the roast beef reaches the desired internal temperature.
• Letting the roast beef rest before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy meat.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover roast beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the roast beef, place it in a baking dish with a little beef broth or gravy, cover with foil, and heat in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) until warmed through.
• Serve the roast beef with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and the demi glace sauce for a complete meal.
