How to Wrap Roast Beef in Foil (3 Steps)

Roast beef has a rich, hearty flavor and pairs well with vegetables and rice. The USDA recommends that cooked beef reach an internal temperature of 145 F before consumption. One way home cooks boost the internal temperature of this thick cut of meat is by using aluminum foil. Covering the roast with aluminum foil will keep the surface of the meat from burning or drying out. Save the herbal crust on your food by using a protective foil cover.

Instructions

  1. Unroll 2 to 3 feet of aluminum foil from the roll.

  2. Lay the sheet on the counter wrong side up. Fold the top of the foil to the bottom of the sheet. This will fold the foil in half.

  3. Arrange the wrap over the roast, positioning the center fold over the roast. Remove the tent during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking so the meat will get an appealing brown color.
