How this recipe came to be:

I crafted this recipe for Whoville Roast Beast after watching “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” for the umpteenth time in my life this Christmas.

If you’re familiar with the classic Christmas tale “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” then you’re familiar with the line at the end, “and he, he himself…the Grinch…carved the roast beast!”

Can other cuts of beef be used for this recipe?

Yes, by all means, use what you can find in the grocery store or use your favorite beef cut.

I normally wouldn’t have chosen a bottom round, but since my husband was kind enough to go to the store for me to purchase a beef roast for this recipe, WHO am I to complain about his selection?!

Alternate beef cut selections to use for Whoville Roast Beast:

• boneless rump roast
• top round roast
• chuck roast
• rib roast
• beef tenderloin
• eye round roast

Proper cooking temperatures for beef:

RARE – 120 – 130 degrees Fahrenheit

MEDIUM RARE – 130 – 135 degrees Fahrenheit

MEDIUM – 135 – 140 degrees Fahrenheit

MEDIUM WELL – 145 – 155 degrees Fahrenheit

WELL DONE – 155 degrees Fahrenheit and up

Important tips for reaching the proper cooking temperature and doneness:

When striving for the perfect doneness for your beef, always remove the protein from the oven when it’s 7 – 10 degrees shy of the proper cooking temperature.

Always cover the meat with foil and allow it to rest at least 10 minutes before carving.

During the resting time, the carry-over temperature will increase, bringing your final roast to the exact temperature and doneness you’re looking for.

In addition, the all-important resting time will ensure a juicy and flavorful roast beast, and WHO doesn’t want that?!!
