How do you win a Queen and king vs king and rook endgame?

How does one get checkmate to ensue if you are presented with such an endgame. I heard it was a difficult win with best play but is there a certain method that should be followed like with the other endgames or is it just an endgame that has to be figured out.

We should trick the rook into checking the king and capture it
