🍖 Roast Beef
Roast beef is a classic dish made by slowly roasting a cut of beef until tender and flavorful. It’s often served sliced with gravy, vegetables, or in sandwiches.
🥩 Best Cuts to Use
- Ribeye roast (very tender & juicy)
- Sirloin roast (leaner, still flavorful)
- Chuck roast (more budget-friendly, great for slow cooking)
