the Keys to victory
Oven roasting basics
Don’t stress over the cooking and spend more time with your guests by oven roasting. This simple cooking method uses a lower temperature over a longer period of time, allowing you to "set it and forget it."
oven roasting cooking times
Find the recommended oven roasting times for the some of the most popular beef cuts this holiday season. With these guidelines and an instant read thermometer, you'll have a nicely done roast every time.
CUTTING PRIME RIB
The most important tool for properly carving your roast is a sharp knife — be safe! If you're using a meat fork, don't pierce the roast to hold it in place. Use the back of the fork instead (tongs work great, too). If you have a rib roast, cut each slice along the rib bone. Always cut across the grain for maximum tenderness.
