Tonight's Dinner: Roast Beef with Red Wine Pan Juices

My husband loves a good roast, so this was our Father's Day dinner, from the original 1999 edition of Cook's Illustrated's THE BEST RECIPE. The red wine sauce is wonderful with mashed potatoes.


I've found that you pretty much can't go wrong with recipes from Cook's Illustrated, which has been a great confidence builder for me as I've worked to polish my cooking skills over the last 18 months. I highly recommend any of their cookbooks.

A larger, all-new edition, THE NEW BEST RECIPE, was published in 2004.
