Roast Beef Method
• Sprinkle salt evenly onto the meat and roll it over on a board to cover all the areas with salt. Wrap it with a plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Do these preparations the day before you decide to cook the beef roast.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and place the oven rack in the middle position. Remove the meat from the refrigerator and use a paper towel to get rid of the excess moisture from the meat. Rub a teaspoon of vegetable oil all over the meat. Evenly sprinkle oregano, red pepper flakes, basil, pepper and garlic over the meat.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Wait it the oil simmers and smokes slightly. Add the roast and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until it is golden brown on all the sides. Make sure it is cooked on all sides.
• Transfer the roast to the wire rack set inside the rimmed baking sheet. Roast the beef for an hour and 20 minutes or until the meat reaches 115 degrees on the thermometer. The most accurate way to judge the cooking time is to use the meat thermometer. Push it to the thickest part of the meat.
• Turn off the oven and let the roast be in the oven for another 30-40 minutes or until the roast reaches temperature of 130 degrees for it to achieve the medium-rare texture or 140 degrees for reaching medium. Never cook the roast more than the medium texture or else it can turn dry.
• Carefully remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a carving board. Allow the roast to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Allowing the meat to rest before slicing will help make the meat tender. Slice the meat thinly and you are ready to serve.

Tenderloin. The most tender roast of all—it's under the spine— with almost no fat or flavor. It's tapered in shape, the middle being the "center cut." The labor involved and waste produced in trimming and tying a tenderloin drives up the price.

The bottom round roast, taken from the round primal, is one of the tougher cuts of roast that's known for being very lean. Like the rump roast, this beef cut is best prepared by braising or slow-cooking.
Drying it out with overcooking will make it tough. If it's a really tough cut, eg, brisket, braise it and don't overcook it. If it's tough and fatty, like ribs or brisket, you can BBQ it low and slow to melt the connecting tissue without drying the meat out.
Remember to reduce the temperature after 20 minutes and deduct the 20 minutes from the total cooking time - leave the oven door open for a couple of minutes to help it cool down.
