Sear Roast Method

Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a small amount of oil in a large ovenproof pan on high heat.
If desired, lightly oil and season* meat prior to cooking.
Carefully place meat in pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on first side or until well browned. Flip meat and place pan on lower oven rack.
For roasts, sear all sides, then place on rack in roasting pan. Use caution when removing pan from oven. Handle will be very hot; use oven mitts.
Test doneness of meat by using a kitchen thermometer. Serve on a warmed dish.
Apply finishing sauce or butter, if desired.

* If desired, we recommend using Omaha Steaks Private Reserve American Steak Rub.
