I made roast beef last night. Came out perfect medium-rare, it was god damn delicious.
I could just eat it cold, in fact that’s what I’m going to do in a little while for lunch, but later I’m going to want it hot for dinner.
Is it possible to reheat it without cooking it further, and how would I do that?
Bring it to room temp, then cover in HOT gravy.
Especially delicious on toast/bread.
Mmm, open-faced hot roast beef sandwich…
Heat a small amount of water in a pan, so maybe 1/4" of water in the bottom of the pan. You can bring it to a boil because it will cool quickly. Take the pan off the heat, add some meat, thin slices, not like cold cuts, but maybe 1/4" thick. Put the meat in the pan and cover it. Let it sit for a minute or two. You only need to get the meat warm, not piping hot.
Put it in a ziploc bag or (even better) vacuum seal it, then put it in hot water until warm.
cut into eating sized portions. heat only what you will eat in a microwave on a medium setting for a minute.
bag and hot water is also a good method.
If you have a sous vide immersion cooker, set it for the desired temp and off you go. Don’t have one? Neither do I, so what I do is heat a pot of water on the stove to 120. Once that’s stable, the meat in a “Food Saver” bag goes in. As long as the water holds below 120, the meat can stay in it all day long and not go beyond rare.
