Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Take the meat out of the fridge at least 1 hour before cooking so that it comes to room temperature. Pat dry and rub with salt, pepper and oil.
- Heat the oven to 230 °C (210 °C fan).
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until very hot and sear the meat on all sides for 1-2 minutes to form a crust.
- Place the meat in a roasting tin with the garlic, rosemary and butter. Roast for 10 minutes at 230 °C, then reduce to 180 °C (165 °C fan) and roast for another 15-25 minutes until the core temperature is 50-52 °C (pink, medium rare) or 55-58 °C (medium).
- Remove, cover loosely with foil and rest for 15-20 minutes. During this time the core temperature rises another 3-5 degrees.
- Slice thinly with a sharp knife (across the grain). Serve hot or cold with horseradish cream, pickles and roast potatoes.
