What’s Cross-Rib Roast?
Cross-rib roast is a type of meat that comes from the rib section. It’s known for having a good flavor and being very tender. This makes it ideal for slicing for sandwiches or grilling whole.
Some people refer to cross-rib roast as shoulder clod, but they are actually two different cuts of meat. A shoulder clod is smaller and more tender, while the cross-rib roast comes from a larger animal.
If you’re planning to roast your cross-rib roast in the oven, it’s best to cut some slits into the meat so that it cooks evenly. You can also cover the roast with aluminum foil until it’s almost done cooking, which will help to keep it moist.
When it’s finished cooking, let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing into it. This will help to keep all of the juices in the meat.

Preheat Oven To 375°F
In order to do this, you will need to preheat the oven first. Preheating is a very important step when cooking because it ensures that your food cooks evenly and thoroughly all over. To preheat the oven, set it to 375°F on your oven dial. While the oven heats up, you can prepare your ingredients.
First, place the chopped onions and garlic into a large bowl. If you like your food to be very spicy, you can also add in some diced jalapeno peppers or chili peppers as well.
Mix these ingredients together well until they are evenly distributed within the bowl. Then, stir in the ground beef, along with the salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Mix everything together until the beef is fully coated with the spices.
Once the oven has reached 375°F, it is time to begin cooking your food. Take a large baking dish and spread the beef mixture evenly across the bottom. Then, top the beef with a layer of cheese slices.
Place Roast In A Roasting Pan And Season With Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, And Onion Powder
To place the roast in a roasting pan, first, preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, carefully lift your seasoned roast and place it in the center of the roasting pan.
Season the meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste as you would with any other type of meat. Be sure not to overseason the meat, as the flavors will intensify while it roasts.
Now, insert the roasting pan into your preheated oven and roast the meat for 1 hour and 15 minutes. To check on the doneness of your roast, use a meat thermometer to test one of its larger sections. The interior temperature should be 145°F.
Once the roast has reached the proper internal temperature, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 3-5 minutes before carving. This will help to seal the juices and keep the meat moist and flavorful.
Add 1/2 Cup Of Water To The Bottom Of The Pan
Do not add water to the pan before cooking as this will cause the chicken to steam instead of roast. Steam chicken is dry, tough, and not very pleasant to eat. Water added during the cooking process will also create a wetter, more moist environment, which is ideal for roasting.
Adding water to the bottom of the pan is a crucial step in cooking the perfect roast chicken. By adding water to the bottom of the pan, you create a moist environment that allows for even browning and crispy skin on your chicken.
The water also helps to evenly distribute heat throughout the roasting pan, ensuring that every part of your chicken cooks through evenly and thoroughly.
