This is a great way to roast a good cut of beef, seasoned with a delicious rosemary salt.
Ingredients
- 1 piece of beef suitable for roasting. I used a 3kg sirloin but rib roast also works well or for a more affordable option you can use a top round roast.
- 2 large sprigs of fresh rosemary
- 20 peppercorns
- 10g sea salt
- 3 carrots, split into 1/2
- 1 onion, cut into 1/4
Directions
In a mortar and pestle, grind the pepper, salt and rosemary.
- Season the beef on all sides.
- Lay the veg down onto a roasting tray and place the beef on top.
- Pour 1-2 cups of water into the bottom of the roasting tray (to make your gravy).
- Place the beef into a 220°c oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, turn the oven down to 180°c and continue cooking until you reach an internal temperature of 55°c for medium/medium rare. This should take about an hour. If you want it more rare/medium rare, pull it out at 45°c.
- Let the beef rest for at least 45 minutes before you carve.
