Whether you've received a loving chocolate on Valentine's Day or a clear chocolate-in-law, White Day will come as early as a month later.

I would like to give a special return to my favorite partner, but it is difficult to choose sweets because the partner is more familiar with it ... If you are such a person, why not try home cooking with a surprise?

The "handmade feast" that I came up with was the roast beef that I was completely captivated by "Red Rock" the other day. It's okay to line up together for a few hours, but when I looked it up online, I found that there was an easy way to make it with a "rice cooker."

Even if you don't have a good oven, you can have a rice cooker!

So, this time, I will try to make roast beef that can be done with a rice cooker! You can find various recipes online, but the basic process is the same.

The ingredients to prepare are beef thigh block meat (300g (10.58oz) used this time), salt, black pepper, garlic and other spices and herbs of your choice. The meat that has just been taken out of the refrigerator has a cold center and it is difficult for it to cook to the inside, so leave it indoors for about 2 hours and let it return to room temperature.

Rub salt on the surface of the meat and sprinkle with black pepper. You can rub garlic or sprinkle with herbs or spices if you like. This time I'm sprinkling "crazy garlic" that happened to happen.

Put hot water of about 70 degrees in the rice cooker and switch on the heat retention button.

Then lightly oil the frying pan and bake the meat. When both sides are browned, bake the sides while holding them with tongs. Let's color it at once without moving it too much, and finish it quickly and vigorously (?) So that the fire does not pass inside!

Place the meat in a zippered stock bag and use a straw to suck out the air inside and seal as much as possible. This will prevent the gravy from escaping.

Put it in the hot water of the rice cooker as it is, close the lid and keep it warm for 30 to 40 minutes (this time I made it in 30 minutes).

After that, take it out of the rice cooker and leave it for the same time to complete. This process is also important because it traps and calms the gravy.

Meat, calm down ...

Now, cut the tension ...

The result is a rosé-colored roast beef that shines brilliantly! You can chill it to your liking, or add sauce and garnish.

I added watercress, potatoes and pickles.

The taste you care about is that it has no fishy odor, probably because it is heated slowly at a low temperature, and you can enjoy the rich flavor that you can chew with a moist and soft mouthfeel! Above all, I was impressed that I was able to reproduce this juiciness myself.

Like an oven, you can just leave it alone without worrying about the heat, so you can make garnish in the meantime or make gravy sauce with meat juice, and you can prepare efficiently. Personally, watercress is a must. And I also recommend the spicy horseradish sauce! Beer won't stop!

By the way, as a female writer, I would be more than happy to receive sweets if I had such a menu. Please try "Rice Cooker Roast Beef", which is so easy that you can beat it, but you can produce the maximum feeling of hospitality!
