Growing up we had roast beef pretty often. Usually for Sunday dinner whether at home or at my Grandparents house. I loved the smell of a roast beef dinner cooking, and to this day when I smell a roast in the oven, I think back to those days.

As a child though, our roast beef was always well-done, needing loads of gravy for moisture and flavour. There was a time when I just avoided eating beef because I didn't enjoy the texture or flavour.

My mom always liked to eat her steak medium, and it kind of grossed me out. I thought it was under-cooked and "yucky." See my dad likes his steak well-done, so that is how I ate mine too.

In my twenties I had a date take me to the Keg. You should have seen the look of horror on his face as I ordered chicken. Yep. Chicken. At a steakhouse.

I just didn't get the fuss, and didn't want to eat "raw meat" or dry, flavourless meat. So I ordered chicken. It was good chicken, it really was, but I think I pretty much ruined that relationship by not ordering a steak. Ooops.

Cooking a Beef Roast the Right Way

It wasn't until I started watching cooking shows like chopped and masterchef that I realised I should probably at least give a medium cooked steak a try. So, a little bit anxious, I ordered a medium cooked steak the next time I was out at a restaurant.

It was delicious.

Juicy and so full of flavour, I immediately thought back to that chicken I ordered and regretted it completely.

It wasn't long before I realised that I'd been cooking my own roast beef all wrong. I usually cook it in the slow cooker, and yes, it comes out tender and moist but it is also one-note and still over-cooked.

After consultant with a Chef friend, and with a few tweaks of my own, I was able to perfect cooking the perfect roast. It's just too bad that my husband isn't in on the beef train, he still likes his well-done. My kids though? They love theirs medium cooked. That is pretty much a win in my books.

The key, I found, was that in order to consistently cook a perfect roast, you absolutely need to invest in a good meat thermometer.

About the Roast Beef Recipe Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to cook the best Beef roast of your life:

Sirloin Tip Roast: I used a Silroin Tip Roast for this recipe because it is a cheap cut that can be hard to cook right. This recipe should also work for any beef roast.

Spices & Seasoning: I use a tons of herbs and seasoning as a crust on my roast, feel free to experiment or just go with plain old salt and pepper. I usually crust my roast and then sear it on and have never had problems with it burning or turning bitter, but you can certainly crust your roast after searing.

Oil: I use extra virgin olive oil but vegetable oil works just as well. The Evoo works well for this recipe because it roasts at a low temp and the searing is pretty quick, it adds a nice depth of flavour to the roast. If you find you have trouble with the crust smoking while searing, use vegetable oil instead.
