Sorry meant to say I was using as a guide

dh is the roast dinner expert in this house but he uses Delia's method and it comes out great. You will need to weigh the beef to make sure that the timings are correct deliaonline.com/recipes/traditional-roast-sirloin-of-beef,1182,RC.html.

Slightly different method deliaonline.com/recipes/roast-ribs-of-traditional-beef-with-horseradish-creme-fraiche-and-mustard-sa uce,977,RC.html.

thats wonderful, thank you very much

Defintiely seal it before hand as keeps all the juices in

can anyone help?
I've just bought at 2.5kg rolled ribeye of beef and can't find cooking instructions anywhere for either one this big or off the bone...

how long do i need to cook it for and at what temperature? Is there a formula x mins per lb/kg for rare/medium etc...

many thanks!

Delia's formula

dust fat surface with mixture of flour and mustard powder and freshly milled pepper (no salt) then 20 mins at 245 degrees c then lower heat to 190 degrees c and cook for 15 mins per lb plus 15 mins extra for medium-rare. Relax meat for 30 mins before carving.

She seems to suggest same for on or off bone but says that on the bone is better for conducting heat. HTH

I ever so slightly over-ordered

If I tell you that there is a joint of beef (with bone) in my freezer that is the size of a football (no exaggeration) and that there are only TWO of us for Christmas dinner...

I did tell our butcher that I wanted enough for leftovers but this is a bit extreme!

Lapin, you need at least two ribs for it to be any good IMO . Your left overs will be amazing too.

We have cocked up though, froze the damn thing in one piece, arggghhhh

Once it's thawed, I'm to chop a massive hunk off, dice it and marinade it in red wine until New Years... should make some yummy canapes!

thanks everyone
am now slightly panicking as maybe i should have bought it on the bone.... thought it would be easier for carving off bone.

ho hum

have a great christmas
