Aging Your Roast

Placing your beef in one of Steak Locker's dry age fridges for a few days will decrease the moisture content on the outside of the roast without losing any inside moisture. This will intensify that beef flavor, and allow for a beautiful crust on the outer layer and a juicy inside layer.

Cooking Time & Temperature

Use tools to your advantage. A temperature gauge is your best friend. How you like your beef cooked it up to you. As a rule of thumb, your roast will continue to cook 10-15 degrees after it is out of the oven, so pulling it out of the oven and doing some quick math is all that's needed. (Medium rare is our jam.) 

Stick your thermometer in the thickest part of the roast. Pull out of the oven at 120 degrees to yield a medium rare. Pull out at 130 for medium. Let that baby rest for at least 15-20 minutes to ensure prime juiciness. 

Multiply the lbs of your roast by 15 and this is your cook time in minutes. The ends of the roast will be a little more cooked then the middle, so if you have guest with differing preferences, everyone can eat happy.

So Saucy

For a simple and delicious sauce, combine beef drippings and a little flour in a saucepan and heat over a medium flame. Whisk until the desired consistency is reached, adding flour a sprinkle at a time if needed.

Enjoy!

Carve and serve with your traditional dishes and family favorites at upcoming get-togethers.
