Equipment

  • - Oven Roaster with Lid: A sturdy, deep roasting pan designed specifically for slow-cooking meats like beef. It ensures even cooking and is suitable for ovens up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, some models come with a lid that locks on the side to help keep in moisture.

  • - Digital Oven Thermometer Probe: A digital probe thermometer featuring an easy-to-read display, highly accurate for ensuring beef reaches the perfect temperature without overcooking and can be used both inside ovens or stovetops.

  • - KitchenAid Stand Mixer (Alternative Use): Although not directly used in roasting, a stand mixer like KitchenAid can help make accompanying sauces such as Dijon mustard from scratch. Offers powerful motor options and various attachments for food preparation.

  • - AmazonBasics Heavy Duty Roasting Pan: Suitable for large cuts of meat, ensuring even cooking with sturdy construction that can withstand high temperatures similar to a professional oven roaster. A spacious design allows air circulation around the beef for even cooking.

  • - Instant-read Digital Meat Thermometer: Provides quick and accurate internal temperature readings, which is crucial for determining when your roast is perfectly done without drying it out; connects to smartphone via Bluetooth for notifications on doneness.

  • - Baking Sheet (Aluminum or Silicone): Can be used as an alternative in conventional ovens instead of a specific roasting pan, with some sheets featuring raised edges to contain spills during cooking.
