Here’s what you’ll learn: Making a reverse-seared beef roast Making beautiful holiday roast toppings Using easy Omaha Steaks sides & desserts to complete the meal How to Make a Reverse-Seared Roast The Reverse Searing Method results in a stunning, well-browned holiday roast with an evenly cooked interior that’s tender and flavorful. The preparation is easy and forgiving, but it takes forethought. Here’s the basic idea: A day before you cook, dry brine or season your roast and leave it uncovered in the fridge to develop crust and flavor. This dries the outside of the roast and forms a layer that allows even browning. The salt in the seasoning locks in moisture within the roast. Place your roast in the oven at a low temperature the roast to cook evenly from edge to edge. Take it out at an interior temperature of 5 to 10 degrees below your desired finished temperature – it will cook a little more while resting and during the final step of searing. Sear your roast at the end of the cook (hence “reverse searing”) in a broiler, grill, or a hot pan to create the perfect delicious crust.
