View Full Version : perfect roast dinner
How does everyone make the perfect sunday roast of beef or chicken, everytime i do it, it tastes alright but had better but just dont know what to do, helps and tips please
i have a lovley recipe for roast pork .. will just have to look it out.. but the best thing you can do is make sure you always use a roasting back and dont forget to put a spoon full of flour in the bag first and shake it up to coat the bag..
pre boil the tatties before you throw them in the oven, I found they taste better. I love roast lamb but the wifey hates it so i dont cook it very often, chicken and beef mainly. Try making some gravy with fresh chopped rosemary in it, simmer for 5 mins. Taste good

whatever meat i am roasting in the bottom of the roasting dish always goes about an inch of water (sometimes with half a can of beer mixed in too;)) this keeps the meat moist and give's it a slight sherryish flavour if you include the beer. tatties always preboiled. use what's left of the water after cooking for the gravy and i always cook at a slightly lower temp than most but for a wee bit longer (about 150 c instead of 180c adds about an hour to cooking time).
yum yum, shut up i'm hungry now and have togo to work, hmmm, bacon butty i think :)

Try this get a bit of beef silverside brown your beef then boil it in the pan for about 6 hours or till its nice and tender. You must put your carrots and onions in the pan for the same length of time for flavor.Then once your beef is ready boil your tatties and if you like roast tatties get that all ready take your beef out the pan cut it up once its cooled down.Then add bisto to the pan that you had your beef in best gravy you,ll ever taste trust me. mmmmmmmmmmm making me hungry just thinking about
mouth watering sounding good, well i got a chicken for tomorrow normally i put it in oven with some water in bottom of tray covered with tin foil for a bout an hour then without it for about an hour, tatties i can never get right if i put them in the roasting dish (preboiled) they end up falling apart :-(

Sorry borrowing hubbys account to tell you this.
The best way to cook Roast, (As taught to me by my late mother in law)
Preheat oven at temp of 180C. Put a dish in the oven with a small layer of olive oil. Par boil your potatoes, when they start boiling then take them out and give them a good shoogle in the pan, to fluff them up a bit. While you are waiting for your potatoes to boil prepare your meat, put in a roasting dish with 1" of water at the base, then add some quartered onions around the meat to add a little extra flavour. I then add some wine to this, (Lambrusco Rose from Lidl) and pour over the stock, (OXO dissolved). Put in oven for 25 mins for each pound that the meat weighs, add another 25 mins when time is up but leave lid off roasting pan for this. Potatoes, put in oven roughly about the same time as your meat, cover them in olive oil and add some herbs, you can also had any other veg you want to this like parsnip, carrots, etc. When potatoes get browned all over then add a little wine to this to add some flavour to the potatoes, (don't put in too early or Potatoes wont cook properly). When finished, allow your meat to cool for a bit. Take the stock from the pan where the meat cooked and add some more wine, and a spoonful of jam. The add your gravy powder and start serving. (Make sure you sieve the gravy into the gravy boat, easiest way not having lumps in it)
Trust me bobinovich likes it this way, and our daughter especially loves the gravy, she would quite happily have it on a sandwich.
Happy Cooking
I just wrap it in foil and stick it in the oven until it's ready - don't even time it, perfect every time. And the gravy mmmmmmm
Try ading some chinese 5 spice to your chicken, as well as some water in the rosating tray. I remove water from chicken about 3/4 of the way through cooking and use this stock for my gravy, delicious! Of course you need to have pork, sage and onion stuffing to accompany!!! Have to agree with every1 else for the best roasters you have to parboil them first.

The best roast dinner consists of the ready to roast turkey or chicken joints in safeway with baked sweet potatoes and broccoli. Mmmm yummy and sooooo easy!
Is when some very very nice person, invites me and Mrs G to their house for Dinner, I'll bring the wine!!
