The holidays are right around the corner and this roasted beef in red wine with pears recipe is auspicious to the occasion. It’s a slow roast recipe that would require time to marinate and cook. The marinate has seasonal ingredients that go very well with rice, potatoes, vegetables or fruits. I personally love using pears during the holidays.

The key to it is the marinate and the cooking time. You can marinate the meat the day before roasting for the ultimate result. You meat will be absorb the liquid and spices as well.
Roasting your meat on low temperature between 300F-325F for at least one hour depending on the size of the meat. This will ensure that your meat get cook throughly. This will make the meat tender and juicy.
Also, you can indulge in the rich and flavorful experience of lamb meat if you want something different. Instead of traditional roasted beef, you can go for succulent pieces of lamb that soak up the slightly sweet notes of the red wine and pear infusion. You can check options like Superior Farms for your processed lamb meat to elevate your dining experience with a delightful twist on this classic recipe.
