Roast beef is a classic comfort food that makes for a mouthwatering family meal - and there's usually some left over for delicious sandwiches the next day.

Olive oil

Bring your meat to room temperature. Removing your meat from the refrigerator a half hour before you start the roasting process will ensure that the beef cooks evenly and comes out to the right texture. If you place it in the oven while it's still cold, the cooking time will be thrown off, and the meat could come out either undercooked or tough.
