A single piece of beef leg is rubbed with simple spices, slowly roasted in the oven, and rested before slicing. Following the classic English roast beef tradition, this recipe is suitable for thin slicing and cold serving.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the meat

15 min

Bring the beef leg meat to room temperature and rub the surface thoroughly with olive oil, salt, black pepper, thyme and crushed garlic.

2

Start baking in the oven

15 min

Sear the surface of the meat briefly at high heat in a preheated oven, then lower the temperature.

3

Cook slowly

40 min

Lower the oven temperature and cook the meat until its internal temperature reaches a safe level.

4

Let it rest

15 min

Remove the meat from the oven, cover with foil and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

5

Slice thinly and serve

5 min

Thinly slice the rested meat against the grain and serve hot or cold.

Reminder

Important: Don't slice the meat until it has rested for at least 15 minutes after coming out of the oven, otherwise the juices fully drain out and it stays dry. Caution: Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature; make sure the inside has reached a safe cooking temperature.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Letting the meat rest in the fridge for a few hours after resting and then slicing it very thinly gives the classic cold roast beef presentation a truer texture.
