Deli Cold Cut Roast Beef

Deli cold cut roast beef is pretty expensive especially those premium brands.The price can go from $6.99 to $12.99 a pound! Every week I have to buy deli cold cut for hubby and one of the them is roast beef. Due to the high price, sometimes I get store brand instead of premium brand but hubby know it's not the quality roast beef and refused to eat it!.Ouch! Well,I don't know the different coz I don't consume beef due to religion reason. Anyway,when I shop at BJ's wholesale last week I bought a 6 pound round bottom and going to roast myself! The result it pretty good! Hubby gave a thumb up! Actually it's quite simple and easy..you might want to try out yourself to save $$$ during this hard economy time (recession).

Ingredients:

6 pound beef (round bottom )

5 tbsp salt

5 tbsp ground pepper

5 tbsp garlic powder

Method:

1: Preheat oven to 500 F or broil setting.Remove plastic bag from beef and cut some excess fat away,set aside.Prepare a baking dish line with aluminum foil underneath.

2:Combine salt,ground pepper and garlic powder together in a bowl and rub all the beef.Let's it season for 30 minutes or longer before broil.

3:Broil coated seasoning beef for 25 minutes.Every 1 pound of beef take 5 minute to roast.But I prefer slightly bloody inside rather than cooked all over so I reduce to 5 minutes lesser.

4:When timer ring,shut off the temperature but leave the beef inside the oven with door shut for 3 hours.

5:Remove the roast beef from oven and let it cool down at room temperature before store in fridge for overnight.

6:Remove roast beef from fridge and cut with slicer.(I don't have slicer so I used a very sharp knife)

7: Serve with bread or roll as sandwich. Sliced roast beef with sheared knife and pack it with wax paper and plastic wrap tightly before store in fridge.
The shelf life for sliced roast beef is about 1 week..
