How do I cook this roast?

[Elysium]

Ok I bought myself 1.5kg of Bollor beef roast from Wollies for a bargin (expires tomorow payed $8 instead of $20 normal price) but since I can't cook that good, I need advice on how to cook this lump of meat. So far I have out it into a ceramic oven dish and added a small layer of water. Aything else I need to do?

you tube it. There is cooking instructions for most things. good luck. What's the worst you can do? put your house on fire or the wife or misses leave you over a burned dinner.

The water only needs to be a little bit to stop it sticking until it starts to release its own juices, you are not trying to boil it.

Don't have the oven too hot, 160 should do it.
Off memory the Edmonds cook book says 30 minutes per 500g. Untill the juices run clear when you poke it with a knife. Cook it too quick (oven too hot) or too long and it will be dry and tough.

Sprinkle some crushed garlic or something over it before sticking it in the oven if you like.

I wouldn't bother with the water.
Coat it in cooking oil, bit of salt and pepper seasoning, then roast in pre-heated oven (170 degrees) for about 40 min per 500 grams

And chuck some spuds, kumara and crown pumpkin in with it... also with some oil on them

Couple of onions and some garlic wouldn't go astray either.

Got any red wine in your cellar? Or do we have to bring it?

What is your address?, we're on our way.

Of course I'll have to ride fast or it will be cold byt the time I get there.

[Elysium]

Right. I got some me some fresh herbs in a pack called "Roast Herbs" I've put these on the meat, coated meat with some oil and straight into oven on 160.

Also got me some roast veges in a bag that comes with a oil herb mix so I'll ad these in about half-way through?

Mate chuck the roast veg in the microwave for about 6 minutes and then and to the roast when you've got about 15 minutes to go.They'll crisp up nicely and I should be there by then.
Got any beer in the fridge?

No booze in the fridge as I have work tomorow and already got wasted on Thurs night. Just coke to go with this roast. Man I tell ya it aint easy being single when you have no women to do your cooking for ya.

Very easy. Very easy indeed. A roast of flesh is the batchelors friend.

Rub the surface with sea salt and rosemary, thyme, and sage (or whatever herbs you fancy). Make some small slits in the outer layer and insert a semi crushed clover of garlic in each (maybe a dozen cloves - unless you like garlic and want to not get the flu, in which case use more)

Put in a dish. Depending on how much fat is on the meat put a LITTLE water in the dish.

Put it into a brisk oven , in the upper part . Cook for half an hour the pound and half an hour over. After half an hour reduce the fire to a moderate temperature.

Baste well, every half hour at least

An hour before wanted, put some parboiled potatoes halved (CAVEAT - They MUST be roasting potatoes) into the pan and either spoon some of the melted fat over them, or, if not sufficient a little lard or oil. Turn every 20 minutes or so.

Add also some quartered carrots , coated with a glaze of honey and water. And LOTS of onions - just peel them and throw them in. Some pumpkin if you like it. And anything else you can find that looks good.

When done, remove the flesh and let to stand and recover for 10 minutes .

Remove the vegetables, and drain off all but a couple of tablespoonfulls of the fat. With the reserved fat make a good gravy. Mix a stout teaspoon of cornflour into a half cup of COLD water. Stir well .

Heat the fat on the stove top, and SLOWLY (SLOWLY- that's not slowly. Slower) mix in the flour and water, stirring constantly the while. Add thereto some Worchestershire sauce, some Soy sauce and whatever else is good.

Boil some green beans or peas.

This is a meal you might put before a king without shame.

Put it in a larger dish and throw some veg in with it. Spuds, kumara, pumpkin, yams, carrots, parsnip. Don't peel any of them - just scrub the dirt off and cut the big spuds in half, chop punkin into large wedges and scoop seeds and soft middle out, parsnip whole or halve lengthways, scrub kumara and halve lengthways. Sprinkle salt over the whole tray. Zap in oven for 2-3 hours or until you can't bear the aroma from it any more.

Damn, that got my mouth watering.
