  1. I find it surprising how many people say that the juices that flow out of a protein (like the roast beef) when it is not allowed to rest, are blood. Almost all animals are bled out during the slaughtering process and the liquid that might come out later is myoglobin. Myoglobin is the liquid that carries oxygen to the tissues of a protein.

  2. as a kid i prepared sunday beef dinner one big metal dish lots of potatoes constant pouring dripping over beef and potatoes, cabbage as vegg london mid 40s beef ? was a very, rare treat mostly it was lamb. horseradish as condiment. gravy made sep.

  3. I used science (and reverse-searing) to top Cook's Illustrated, doing their job for them.

    First, I pat the roast dry with paper towels before salting.

    Then, after salting I let the roast sit on a wire rack in the refrigerator uncovered (and certainly not wrapped) for a full day (or two). This dries the exterior completely while dry-brining the interior.

    I then oil and pepper the exterior.

    Next, instead of searing in a skillet first, I roast (low and slow @ 200F) to the desired internal temperature first. (I like 130F.) I then sear and, instead of a skillet I use the broiler, rotating the roast every minute. This assured a superior "bark" and tender beef while minimizing smoke in the kitchen.
