Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Take the meat out of the refrigerator and remove any plastic or paper packaging. Pat it down with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- If not already tied, use kitchen twine to tie the meat tightly around the middle.
- Sprinkle the salt all over the meat and rub it in well.
- Gather the halved garlic cloves, orange zest, and rosemary leaves, and rub these onto the meat.
- Wrap the meat in parchment paper and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Cooking
- Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).
- Take the meat out of the parchment paper and place it in a roasting pan drizzled with olive oil, laying it fat side up.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
- Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (325°F) and continue roasting for another 30-50 minutes.
- Aim for an internal temperature of 57°C (135°F) for medium-rare or 63°C (145°F) for medium.
- Once done, remove the beef from the oven, tent it with aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Serving
- Slice the roast beef against the grain using a sharp knife.
- Serve with its juices drizzled over the slices.
- Garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a sprinkle of orange zest if desired.
Notes
Store leftover roast beef in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for 3-6 months.
