You want to concentrate on procuring your beef meat\nthrough a trusted, organic sheep farmer who will provide any custom cut for a\nfair price. Farm-to-table, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishivys.com\/blog\/why-you-should-eat-locally-sourced-foods\/\">locally-sourced\nfoods<\/a> have several benefits, one of which being some of the highest quality\nproduct around. Ask your provider to remove the bone for easier preparation. If\nyou prefer to shop at your local grocery store, you have organic options, or\nyou can simply opt for your favorite, trusted cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let Your Roast Come to Room Temp<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important tip is to let the meat rest before cooking\nso that it can reach room temperature. This supports more even cooking and\nbalanced flavors. Once your meat is at room temperature, spend the first 10 to\n20 minutes searing it on all sides using a cast iron skillet on high heat. This\nwill properly seal in all the delicious juices and flavors of the meat while it\ncooks in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Your Cooking Time Right<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes time to put it in the oven, you want to roast\nit slowly at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The amount of time you roast your beef\nwill depend on its weight. The rule of thumb to follow here is 13 to 13 minutes\nper pound for rare beef, 17 to 19 minutes for medium, and 22 to 25 for fully\ncooked. For instance, if your beef roast is three and half pounds, you will\nwant to roast it for at least 45 minutes &nbsp;for rare, and upwards of 90 minutes for\nwell-done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let Your Roast Rest<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you remove your roast from the oven, allow it to rest\nfor 15 minutes to retain all the juices inside. The temperature of your meat is\nimportant, and will range depending on your personal preference. Be sure to\ncheck your meat with a meat thermometer to ensure it has achieved the proper\ninternal temperature, which is around 145\u00b0F for medium rare and 160\u00b0F for\nmedium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get Delicious, Homemade Beef Pot Roast in Downtown Indianapolis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call English Ivy\u2019s at 317-822-5070<\/strong> to ask us about our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Sunday dinner special (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.englishivys.com\/specials.php\" target=\"_blank\">Sunday dinner special<\/a>, Grandma\u2019s Beef Pot Roast Special!
