[header] How to make a gravy for roast beef [title] Choose the meat. [substeps] Roasting is a cooking method whereby cuts of meat are cooked in an oven in a dry environment, meaning there is little or no liquid added to the cooking vessel. This results in a juicy and moist cut of meat, provided you select the right cut of beef to roast. 
The best cuts are those with little or no connective tissue and plenty of fat or marbling. Some good candidates for roasting are: rib roasts, sirloin tip roasts, tri-tip roast and the tenderloin.
