Flour Crusted Roast Beef

Ingredients

• Beef roast (rib or rolled), well-streaked with fat
• Flour, for dredging
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp drippings

Method

1. 1 Preheat oven to very hot (approx 425°F). Place beef on a rack in a pan.
2. 2 Dredge the entire roast with flour. Add salt, pepper, and drippings to the pan, ensuring they do not touch the meat.
3. 3 Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until browned.
4. 4 Lower oven temperature to moderate (350°F). Cook slowly until desired doneness, basting frequently.
5. 5 Do not add water to the pan. Remove roast and let rest before slicing.
