Ultra-Easy "Roast" Beef Made with Aussie Beef
Roast beef made in an oven is often either undercooked or overcooked... and beef that's raw on the inside is tataki, not roast beef.
This recipe is for boiled beef rather than roast beef maybe? Nevertheless, I came to this method as a way of ensuring that the beef is cooked to the right degree of doneness.
If the meat is too cold when you start cooking it, it will be raw on the inside so be careful! As I wrote in Step 1, bring the meat to room temperature or as close to it as possible before you start cooking it! Even if the meat doesn't have a good color right after it's cut, it will look nicer after a short time. You can use whatever vegetables you like except for potatoes in the cooking water, but I personally think you have to have celery and leek. Bamboo shoot skins are a great addition, but they are seasonal. Recipe by Tetsuamru

- 1
When you buy the beef, don't put it in the refrigerator - leave it at room temperature. If the meat is too cold when you cook it, the inside will be raw. ("Rare" and "raw" are not the same thing.) Beef that's just before the best-by date is tastier than fresh beef. If you find some Aussie beef round as shown here that's on sale at half price, it's a must buy!
- 2
Put aromatic vegetables like celery, onion, Japanese leek, carrot, parsley, Chinese cabbage, regular cabbage etc. (celery and leek are a must, if you have bamboo shoot skins that's great!) into a pot with the water, and bring to a boil.
- 3
If the Aussie beef block you bought came with a spice packet, rub it into the meat. If it didn't come with anything rub with salt and pepper (not listed). Be generous with the pepper.
- 4
Brown the meat in a pan. Be sure to use high heat.
- 5
When the pot of vegetables from step 2 comes to a boil, put in the beef! Bring back to a boil, and cook over high heat for 1 minute! Turn off the heat, dissolve the salt in the water, leave for 12 to 15 minutes and then take out the beef only. The cooking time varies depending on the size of the meat blocks, 15 minutes is OK in most cases!
- 6
If you're worried about whether the meat is cooked enough, try cutting off an edge. If it's light pink in the middle it's great! (If you touch the middle and it's cold, then it's raw.) It's delicious as-is, but if you put the meat back in the cooking liquid for an hour once the liquid has cooled down to about 120°F/50°C, it will absorb the flavors of the vegetables and become even more delicious!
- 7
If there are any leftovers or if you're not going to eat the beef right away, keep the cooking liquid in storage bags or containers, where it will keep for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- 8
Slice the beef as thinly as you can when serving. To be honest it's cheaper and healthier than ham, so use it in salads and sandwiches and eat a lot of it.
- 9
Use storebought salad dressing, mustard, wasabi soy sauce, grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce, or whatever other sauces you like with the beef. Here's an easy sauce recipe: mix store-bought yakiniku sauce with ponzu soy sauce in equal amounts.

Real Easy! But Proper "Roast" Beef Real Easy! But Proper "Roast" Beef
I wanted to make an easy yet tender roast beef, using as few ingredients as possible. This is really great for serving to guests!If you like a slightly sweet sauce, reduce the sake and make up the difference by adding mirin. Be sure to brown the meat well, so that it's almost charred. The simmering time depends on the shape and volume of the meat. (For 500 g, simmer for about 8 minutes.) Leave the meat in the sauce as it cools so that the flavors from the sauce will penetrate. This method makes 'roast' beef that's more tender than oven-roasting! For 3 to 4 servings. Recipe by Blue-Island -
Delicious Roast Beef Delicious Roast Beef
I made this to entertain my in-laws.Be sure to bring the meat to room temperature before roasting it. (The reason is that if you start roasting the meat while it's still cold from the refrigerator, the inner part will be very rare.)Don't cut the meat when it's fresh out of the oven (if you cut it then the juices will flow right out).

Roast Beef Roast Beef
I used to use various herbs and spices to make roast beef, but simple is really the best. Our family recipe for roast beef just uses salt and coarsely ground black pepper to flavor the meat.If you cut the meat when it's still hot out of the oven, the juices will just flow out, so leave it to rest for a while wrapped in aluminium foil. The juices will be settle throughout the meat.Please adjust the amount of salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste. It tastes better with a generous amount of both. Recipe by FarmersK -
Traditional Roast Beef Traditional Roast Beef
When I was in the U.S., I used to make roast beef often but in Japan it's a dish for special occasions. However it is easy to make. I adjusted it a little to suit the small ovens in Japan.Important hints: Do not add salt into the bag (otherwise the meat toughens). Do not pre-heat the oven. The best moment to remove the meat from the oven is when you touch it (do not burn your finger!) you feel a good springy texture, and the outside of the meat has browned well. Recipe by machipron -
3 Ingredient "Roast Beef" in 15 Minutes 3 Ingredient "Roast Beef" in 15 Minutes
I made this when my son was coming home and I had less than 30 minutes to prepare dinner. It's a combination of seared beef and roast beef.I was in a hurry so I just used 3 ingredients, but if you add garlic, ginger, onion and celery to the ponzu sauce ,it becomes a lot more luxurious and easy to digest too. Wasabi also works well with this. I made this in the summer but if you're cooking this in the winter, increase the cooking and resting times. Recipe by Asamato -

I adapted a recipe that was in my oven's instruction manual and added garlic as well as the resting step. The sauce is my original.After rubbing in the ingredients, if you let the meat rest, the flavors will penetrate and add flavor.Add the meat juices to the sauce to make it richer.If you are serving this to adults, add plenty of black pepper and it'll be a great appetizer with drinks.You can use shortening and Krazy Salt instead of the combined ingredients if you like.
