What do you need?
Why do you use roast beef?
This meat is tender, tasty, and versatile. Roast beef comes from the back of the cow, where the muscles do not work very much. This keeps the meat nice, tender, and juicy. You prepare it in one piece and then cut it into slices at the table to serve.
What kind of butter do you use?
Use unsalted butter; it is creamy and full of flavor. This way, you can add the right amount of salt yourself.
Which herbs do you choose?
Fresh rosemary and thyme give the meat a delicious flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, replace them with a teaspoon of dried herbs. You can also experiment with oregano or sage.
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 440 °F (230 °C). Season the roast beef generously with salt and pepper, giving it a nice crust.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and brown the roast beef on all sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Searing the meat helps retain the juices. Place the roast beef in a baking dish and place in the oven. Cook until a core temperature of 131 °F (55 °C) for medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, wrap in aluminum foil, and rest for 10 minutes. This will keep the meat nice and juicy.
- Melt the butter over medium heat and add the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Let the butter bubble gently and turn golden brown, stirring constantly.
- Strain the butter to remove the garlic and herbs for a smooth herb butter.
Serving: Cut the roast beef into thin slices and pour the herb butter on top.
