Beef Chuck Cross Rib Roast - What is it really?

                    

Beef Chuck Cross Rib Pot Roast

Also known as:

No matter what you call it, I called it DELICIOUS! 

My local Stater Bros had several cuts of beef and pork roasts on sale last week.  So I picked up this beauty…….  Of course this is what it looked like after I seasoned it.   The above is a 3.69 pound boneless cross rib roast.  I brushed the roast liberally with balsamic vinegar.  Then I used my favorite spice mixture, Pampered Chef Rosemary Herb Seasoning and sprinkled it heavily with the seasoning.  No need to add salt as there is salt in the seasoning.  I allowed it to come to room temperate while the seasonings and vinegar were working their magic on the meat.  

I put the roast in a shallow pan, and set the oven to 450 degrees (f).  I cooked the roast at 450 for approx 20 minutes then turned the oven down to 350 degrees (f) and allowed it to cook for just around an hour.  You have got to resist the temptation to open the oven and check on the progress of this delicious smelling  hunk of goodness.  Opening the oven door is going to cool the oven and mess up your cooking time.  

After an hour, check the internal temperature of the roast.  If it is between 125 and 145 degrees go ahead and take it out.  Place it in a corner where there is no draft and cover it loosely with foil.  Let it set for about 20 minutes.  This will finish the cooking.  

While my roast was cooking, I cleaned and partially baked a few Yam’s in the microwave oven. I also cut the ends off of my asparagus spears and spread them on a baking sheet.  I drizzled the asparagus with olive oil and seasoned well with Pampered Chef Basil and Citrus seasoning.  When the roast came out, I put the yams and asparagus in the oven along with my dinner rolls.

Once your roast has set for about 20 minutes, go ahead and slice it, I like big thick flavorful slices.  This is an amazingly easy dinner that can be made any night of the week.  My Monday night was made extra special with this dinner.  The roast on sale was only about $10.00 and the yams and asparagus were on sale too.  So again for less than $20.00 you have an amazing dinner for your family that can be made in about two hours time.  

Make sure you serve it with your favorite horseradish and a glass of red wine.  MMM perfect.  

Here is the final product.    Enjoy!
