I just rubbed in the spices (shallot pepper & granulated garlic) while
the oven came to temp (350F). So I'm guessing the meat sat out for say 10
minutes. I prefer med-well so I put the roast in the oven @ 30 minutes
per lb. The roast was 1.8 kilograms (near enough to 4 lbs) so I cooked it
fat up bones down on a rack over a pan for 2 hours....worked good enough
for me. I detest the taste of meat when it sites in it's own juices when
cooking. Tastes like boiled beef. While there is nothing wrong with
boiled beef; it's not the taste I want when roasting a decent cut of
meat. That's my reasoning behind using a rack over a pan.
Usually I cook roasts @ a higher temp and with the oven in convection
mode and a digital thermometer. But I've never cooked a roast by the
following the recommended cooking tables before. So I decided to try
that; as I guess an experiment. And it worked out fairly well.
You don't learn anything if you don't try different methods.
Tomorrow night it is boneless leg of lamb...first taste of lamb in about
2 months.
