I'm not keen on beef but Mr jd fancied some roast beef for xmas dinner.

I seared it in a frying pan, then put it in the oven on full heat for 20 mins covered with foil & then put it on gas mark 5 still covered for the rest of the time (2 1/2 hours) I must admit, it turned out absolutely delicious.
Had all the trimmings with it & it went down well.

Can anyone give me tips on how to cook beef (any cut) so that it's melt in the mouth and not chewy please

my OH cooks lovely steak, melt in the mouth. I'll send him round.

Seriously, please take him!!

I find the cooking of beef to be touch and go and depends on the cut. If you can find a good butcher then it's very difficult to ruin it.
I have bought myself Rib of Beef Steak for tomorrow and I will Grill it.....about 4 min each side as I don't like overcooked Meat. Roasting Meat is down to how you like it cooked i.e Rare, Medium or Welldone.
The way you roasted yours in the Oven sounds really delicious !

Hi EDDIE51
I've not got a slow cooker and i've been thinking about getting one but thats all - i've been thinking about it!
Does it not mean that the food cooked in it is all 'overcooked?'

aah now jack, tiniest thing and male ego in the same sentence LOL

I don't think food gets over cooked in a slow cooker, there was a thread on here a day or so ago about slo-cookers, can't promise a link but I'll have a look
