Roasts lose quality during reheating, but they also cultivate bacteria from the time you take them out of the refrigerator to the time they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit, the minimum safe serving temperature for reheated beef. Reheating often results in dry, tough meat, unless you incorporate moisture in the process. For best results, and the quickest reheating times, slice leftover roast thinly so each slice reaches the safe serving temperature at the same time.

Step 3

Cover the dish with foil and heat it in the oven until the slices reach 165 F, about 20 minutes. Use the tip of a digital meat thermometer to check the beef's internal temperature.

Leave the slices in the sauce until they reach 165 F, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the slices and serve immediately. Use the tip of a digital meat thermometer to check the beef's internal temperature.

Warning
