Slow Roasting
104
This cooking method is ideal for
cooking beef, pork, veal or lamb when
a t
ender result is desired.
First, using a cooktop sear the meat on
all sides t
o seal in the juices.
Then place the meat in a preheated
oven. It will be cooked at a low
temperature for an extended time
allowing the meat to become very
tender.
The meat will rest and the juices start to
cir
culate evenly throughout.
This gives the meat a very tender and
juicy result.
Tips
– Use fresh, lean meat that has been
trimmed. Remove the bones befor
e
cooking.
– When searing, use a suitable cooking
oil or fat that can withstand high
t
emperatures (e.g. clarified butter,
vegetable oil).
– Do not cover the meat during
cooking.
Cooking will take approx. 2-4 hours,
depending on the siz
e and weight of
the meat, as well as the desired
degree of doneness and browning.

After cooking:
Because the cooking temperatures are
ver
y low:
– The meat can be carved immediately.
No
resting time is required.
– The cooking result will not be
affect
ed if the meat is left in the oven
after the program is complete. It can
be kept warm until you serve it.
– The meat is at an ideal temperature
t
o be eaten right away. Serve on pre-
warmed plates with a hot sauce or
gravy to keep warm.
