Roasting Meat Overnight in the Oven

I have lost a recipe that I found in the local News Journal about 6 or so months ago. I remember that you bought a cheap roast (even bottom round roast), seasoned it and roasted the meat on an extremely low oven overnight. I forget if it was braised. It was very tender and the middle section was rare if you decreased cooking by 20 minutes.

Update: Thanks to those that answered my request overnight for slow cooked roast beef. They were good but I found my recipe which is fantastic. Here is the recipe on ThriftyFun:

I was just listening to an old podcast of The Splendid Table and they talked about this. The important points are making sure there is some liquid at the bottom of your roasting pan, keeping the lid of the pan slightly ajar so steam can escape into the oven, and finally, using a very low heat.

Good luck!

Rib Roast "Unattended"--I know this isn't exactly what you are looking for, but this is a real "tried and true" recipe for me. I came across it a few years ago and have used it many times. It makes a perfect roast, every time, every size. I know that rib roasts are a more expensive cut, but it's also good to know a foolproof recipe for them.

Rib Roast Unattended
From the Houston Junior League Cookbook (Copyright 1992)

Ingredients:
1 Standing Rib Roast, any size
Salt and pepper

To Prepare:
At noon, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Season roast with salt and pepper. Put roast, uncovered, in pre-heated oven. After 1 hour, turn off oven and do not open the door. Forty minutes before serving, turn oven on again, to 375 degrees. Allow the usual resting time upon removal from the oven, depending on the size. Roast will be medium-rare in center and well-done around edges. It is so convenient for company when you don"t know exactly when serving time will be.

Serves: varies according to size of roast

I recently read about cooking beef all night. They said to set the oven to the temperature you want the beef to be. So if you want it rare, set it to 140 and then you can cook it for 8 or 12 hours and it won't get any more done. I haven't tried it, has anyone? I think I would set it at 350 for half an hour at the beginning so it doesn't sit at an unsafe temperature for long.

Thank you for asking this - I have always wanted to give this a go. A friendsays her mother used to roast turkeys overnight at a very low temperature in a similar manner, but I've always been afraid to try that.

This sounds tried and true. Thanks again.

The rib roast "unattended" is a recipe that I use often. I found it in a paper labeled "The Roast Recipe that Saved a Marriage". You can put it on when you leave for church on an hour time set and then when you get home, you heat it (my recipe said 30 minutes) while getting other things together. It is suppose to be able to be used with frozen roasts adding 30 minutes.

I call this the long and low and slow method of cooking a roast. I will cook a large roast like this all day, and even if I don't cover it, it comes out juicy and tender every time, no matter how tough a cut it is. Here's how I do it: I put a roast in the roaster or a shallow baking pan. Then I season it and put it in the oven which has been set at 250 degrees. I leave it in the oven for all day--6 hours or more, depending on the size of the roast.

I rarely put a lid on it or add liquid, as that makes the meat stringy. I do use a meat thermometer to be sure I don't over-cook it. (For beef, I make sure that the temp. reaches at least 165 degrees to be sure any bacteria is killed.) My mother taught me this, and she made the best roasts ever! Hope it works for you.
