Jamie, I cooked this tonight in Australia and as a 55-year-old I have cooked a couple of roasts in my time. I love your way of cooking and you are an inspiration. Thank you

[@imagoflyfishing9993]

Thank-you Jamie, I followed this exactly & made the “best roast ever”, according to my friends!!! Much appreciated!

[@lisaannemeredith5924]

I just made this tonight for dinner using a prime rib roast and OMG, it was absolutely AMAZING!!! I have never been able to cook roast this nicely; it was so juicy and delicious, and that gravy, it was amazing. Can't have things better than Jamie Oliver in my kitchen :))) Thank you so much Jamie!! :)))

[@user-nw4cl3lv2f]

Completely agree! He's the best chef in my opinion. I was just wondering did you put the jam in the gravy?

[@harrybond6673]

That beef is not cooked properly it's raw! Why do all you chefs think it's good to serve up raw meat!!! Youl kill someone 😛

[@maryfeeney5240]

I’ve been making roast beef and gravy for many, many years, but decided to do it Jamie’s way this time. OMG! Everything was so delicious. And the gravy - unbelievable depth of flavour! Jamie’s recipes ALWAYS turn out the way they were supposed to. The man is a national treasure isn’t he?

[@pbateman62]

We’ve just got our first house and this is the first Sunday roast I’ll be cooking this weekend. I’ll be using this and a couple of other Jamie’s recipes.

It's the 2nd time I've ever attempted to cook a beef roast. Thanks to Jamie, this time, it came out super delicious. From now on, I will only use this recipe! ❤

He really makes it simple enough for anyone to cook. the way he made the gravy was and is awesome.

Literally the most perfect roast I’ve ever seen in my life. And then he goes and adds the most perfect roasted potatoes. Jamie I’ve always loved your cooking but this just took it to a whole new level. Well done!

Got a bottom round for Easter roast. Not paying $65- 85 for these cuts at our local grocery store. Highway robbery! Any suggestions for cooking this cut? Never tried before.

[@cropsylives732]

Simple to follow with amazing results. The flavour of the beef and gravy are wonderful

[@Ronbo710]

My Gran was from Richmond Yorkshire and every Sunday in the '70's this was *HEAVEN* !!

[@cheesegeezer5019]

That looks awesome, love the gravy tips, my meat sucks when i cook at 180C so...... for the meat i sear it and get good colour on it, but then set my oven to between 80-100degC and leave it for about 3-4 hrs. Its cooked thru but blushing beautifully , melt in the mouth and i only have to rest for 10-15mins. I also use this method for beef wellington using cheaper cuts of meat. Works a dream. Thanks again Mr. Oliver 👍

[@blaws6684]

Someone once said being the best chef in the uk was like being the best ballerina in Barrow AK. Thank you Jamey for busting that myth.

[@janeenkkreations]

I made a rump roast this afternoon and it turned out amazing. I didn't mash the geggies for the gravy, served them on the side but the gravy was SO good.❤

[@jazzymomdiy4559]

I followed this last Christmas and I made a beautiful tasty roast for dinner. Everyone raved about it. I highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!!

[@iainronald4217]

I used to work as a banquet chef in the heart of Alberta Beef Country and the way we'd roast beef is char it on the grill (unless it's a prime rib), rub the whole thing with Dijon or Whole Grain mustard, roll it in Montreal Steak Spice and roast at high temp. We used to do 9 prime rib a day for seperate functions. I still remember the night's I'd have to hoist a wooden serving platter with a roast on it onto my shoulder and delicately waltz around the event room carving and serving beef to our guests.

[@B0KZY]

Props to you chef. That sounds like a crazy service!

[@STARBLINK186]

Just made this fantastic roast beef for my son's birthday. Absolutely undescribable outcome!!! Amazing!!! Thank you Jamie!!!!!

Omagad !! Gonna try it this very week ! Thank you for all the recipes Jamie :D

[@BlueShellshock]

Making it for the second time tonight. First time, I overcooked it, put in too many veggies, and the gravy was too thick. That being said, the extra veggies were delightful when finished in a frying pan, and the gravy was delightful; using a meat thermometer to monitor temperature tonight, so I'm hoping for a good result! Edit: Steak was much better; checked it at the hour-fifteen mark with the meat thermometer, saw it said 140 f and was like "oh crap, it's done!" Much better meat this time -- though strangely, the gravy wasn't as good this time, and I think it was because it was a little too thin after being strained. Work in progress, but I look forwards to round 3.

[@joelinden1482]

That’s how I get better at cooking, experimenting and making little tweaks each time if I’m not happy. I’ve perfected so many recipes doing this!

[@user-nw4cl3lv2f]

What you making this year 😂

[@johnspence8141]

If you want to avoid lumpy gravy, everything he does is fine, BUT separately, melt a big wad of butter, add your flour to that. It not only cooks the flour a bit (which gets rid of any doughy taste) but it also smoothes it out with no lumps, THEN add your juice/drippings to that. Worchestershire sauce also adds a nice zing. Along with the wine. You can also save the time with the water, and add that water to the tray with the beef, make sure the beef is above the water (roasting pan), and the water will spread those vegetable flavours much better and prevent any scorched/burnt flavours.

[@ralphdavis9670]

John, Yes I can attest to that.

[@morgan3589]

I've recently been roasting my beef joint at 60c fan oven because I had read about how the longer a joint is in the oven cooking the more of the connective tissue and such will break down resulting in a more tender end product. It seems to be very true that this is the case. I know it is not very time efficient because you'd need it in there for hours but I think it's really worth it.

[@eileencharnley3764]

This is the best gravy you'll ever taste! Thank you Jamie
