About Roast beef

Roast beef is beef cooked by roasting, usually as a joint and then sliced. The cooked meat ranges from pink to brown depending on the cut and degree of cooking; its texture can be tender or firm, and flavour varies with the cut, fat and seasoning. It describes a cooked meat preparation rather than raw beef or a single anatomical cut.

It is served freshly carved or sold pre-cooked and sliced, chilled or packaged. Some versions are salted, seasoned or processed, while others contain only beef and cooking juices. The cut, doneness, added ingredients and whether visible fat is retained all affect the character of the finished food.
