Ingredients
- cracked black pepper
- sea salt
- olive oil
- 5kg prime roast beef
Method
- Heat the oven to 230C.
- Remove the roast from its packaging and place it in a sturdy roasting pan.
- Rub the roast lightly with the oil. Try not to get any oil in the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Rub the roast with enough salt and pepper to lightly season it.
- Place the roasting pan in the oven.
- After 15-20 minutes, turn the heat down to 160C.
- For rare meat, remove the roast when the internal temperature reads 60C. For medium rare, remove at 65C. And for medium, remove at 70C or above. A large rib roast takes 2-4 hours to cook.
- Let the roast beef rest at room temperature, without carving or cutting into it, for 20-30 minutes.
