How to Cook Beef Roasts

The most popular way to prepare a beef roast is to oven-roast or braise it to your desired doneness.

Start by coating the roast generously with your favorite rub for the best flavor. Whether you prefer smoky, savory, or herb-forward, feel free to get creative with your seasoning.

Always use a meat thermometer to monitor internal temperature throughout the cooking process. Once done, allow the roast to rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps lock in juices and enhances tenderness.

Cooking times will vary based on the size and whether your roast is bone-in or boneless.

How to Pick the Perfect Beef Roast

Choosing the right roast depends on your budget, cooking method, and occasion:

  • Tenderloin Roast – The most tender and often the most expensive roast. Easy to carve and great for special occasions.

  • Rib or Strip Roasts (Prime Rib) – Rich in flavor and perfect for holidays or feeding a crowd.

  • Chuck Roasts – Budget-friendly and best when cooked low and slow for fork-tender, flavorful results.

Types of Beef Roasts

Beef Arm Roast
A budget-friendly cut that shines when slow-cooked with vegetables. Comes from the chuck and is also known as the "Beef Clod Heart" or "Beef Shoulder Center."

Chuck Eye Roll
Cut from the chuck primal, chuck rolls are well-marbled and perfect for fall-apart shredded beef. Best seasoned simply and cooked low and slow.

Eye of Round Roast
Lean and affordable, this roast is great for everyday meals. It benefits from marinades or rubs and is best roasted or braised, then sliced thin across the grain.

Beef Rump Roast
Also called the "Bottom Round Rump Roast," this lean cut is great for crockpot meals with carrots and potatoes. Affordable and family-friendly.

Sirloin Tip Roast
Known as the “Knuckle” or “Round Tip Roast,” this cut is lean and inexpensive. It performs well when roasted or smoked and sliced thin for sandwiches.

Tri-Tip Roast
Also known as the "Santa Maria Roast" or "Bottom Sirloin," this triangular cut is tender, flavorful, and perfect for grilling, tacos, or carving stations.

Brisket
Cut from the breast, brisket is ideal for smoking. Apply a generous rub, cook low and slow to 203–205°F, and let rest before slicing.

  • Brisket Point – Juicier, fattier, and ideal for burnt ends.

  • Brisket Flat – Leaner, great for slicing or shredding.

Picanha / Coulotte Roast
Also called “Top Sirloin Cap,” this cut is full of flavor thanks to a generous fat cap. Roast or grill low and slow, then slice against the grain.

Prime Rib / Standing Rib Roast
This classic holiday roast is rich, juicy, and impressive. Roast bone-in or boneless with seasoning and let it rest before serving.

Schmidt Beef Reviews

I love that I have found Schmidt Beef. Now beef bundles are going to be shipped to my Colorado family as gifts from now to infinity. They grew up in Iowa so they know good beef when they taste it. My sister is some what of a steak aficionado and she says it’s the best she’s had in a great long while ( probably since she moved away from Iowa) and can’t wait to cook her next one.

My husband’s favorite food is a steak and he says these are some of the bests he’s had! Highly recommend!

We are so happy with our beef from Schmidt! We have been purchasing a 1/4 every year and this is, by far, the best one we have gotten yet! Super friendly service and delicious products!!

Top notch steaks on the grill tonight. Highly recommend!
