Sriracha Herb Roast and Beef Roasting Tips

It’s no surprise I thoroughly enjoy beef. It must shine through because I’ve been fortunate to go on two culinary trips because of it. The most recent one being at Certified Angus Beef® brand’s headquarters in Wooster, OH. It was a big weekend filled with learning, food, and fun. I was inspired by many things. Now I’m passing on some beef roasting tips and sharing a recipe for Sriracha Herb Roast.

Roasting beef really is quite simple. Put some meat in a hot oven and a little while later it is done. Yes, I know, there are factors involved to achieving the perfect roast. You want it done how you like it. You want it to taste great. You want your family to be happy with the meal. So how to begin? Here goes…

Wait, a couple of disclosures first. Links to products are Amazon Affiliate links. I figured going ahead and stating it now would be better than noting it beside each one. Also, I was under no obligation to write this post because of the trip. I’m simply sharing some knowledge gained and a recipe created because of it. Now on to the tips…

Start with premium beef. You want the best roast for your money. The higher the quality the more likely it is to be what you desire in beef: excellent flavor. Why do most people eat beef? Because they like the way it tastes.

Where to find the best beef? It’s easy. Use the Certified Angus Beef® brand locator to find retail stores and restaurants. I can get it at two of my favorite places to shop in Metro Atlanta; Dekalb Farmers Market and Buford Highway Farmers Market.

You need the right equipment. One is an instant-read thermometer. It will be your very best friend. Temperature is the only way to tell when a roast is cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Always check the internal temperature at least 15 minutes before the recommended cooking time of recipe. Check it again every 10 minutes or so. You can roast it longer if needed. Oh, you can get fancy remote thermometers that sync with an iPhone like the iDevices Kitchen Thermometer.

A rack makes for even roasting. Air circulating around the roast will keep one side from cooking more than the rest. Guess what? A rimmed cookie baking sheet and wire rack will do nicely. You can also go upscale with a Le Creuset Roasting Pan Set. Which do I use? Both. In this case I used the baking sheet and wire rack:

Rubs add flavor. It’s incredible how spices on the outside can make every bite of a roast so much better. And, oh heavenly drippings. You know the puddle of goodness on the tray that accumulates under a sliced roast? Well, the puddle from Sriracha Herb Roast is divine. I’d soak up every drop with some crusty bread.

Technology helps too. Just go ahead and download Certified Angus Beef® brand’s Roast Perfect app to your smartphone. It will guide you through the whole process. Check out the timer, recipes, tips, and more. I’ve used it and obviously recommend it highly.

A little resting goes a long way. Always, always, always, let your roast rest for a minimum of 10 minutes before slicing. 15 to 20 minutes is how long I usually wait. You want to keep as much of the juices in the roast as possible. The time it sits before slicing is when the juices settle into the meat. It is worth the wait.

How is Sriracha Herb Roast? It’s something to make if you enjoy spicy food. The two teaspoons of sriracha seasoning puts in a real kick of heat. I’d give it a medium-high rating on a heat level. You can use less to make it have spicy. Have fun roasting and remember it’s really quite easy. Go for it! Oh, and scroll down to find more roast recipes too.
