Our ribs of beef seem to be the most popular cut for roasting and the most frequently asked cooking tips are related to this joint so here is a rule of thumb.
Sufficient – Allow 300g/10.5oz per person
Seasonable – All year
Ingredients – Ribs of beef
Heat your oven to 400°F/200°C/Gas mark 6
If you have the facility to brown the meat off in the pan before you place it in the oven do this as this considerably speeds up the cooking process "and adds to the flavour".
Allow 15 minutes per 16oz for rare and leave to rest for 20 minutes before serving. Allow 20 minutes per 16oz for medium.
