Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the meat on a large plate or tray, and let it come to room temperature. This should take about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of your meat and the temperature in your kitchen.

  2. Season the meat all over generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

  3. Preheat the oven to 220°C/428°F (without fan).

  4. If you have a large roasting pan which is also suitable to use on the stove, place this on the stove over medium-high heat. Otherwise, use a large saucepan.

  5. Add the oil to the pan.

  6. Sear the meat on all sides until it has browned and caramelised nicely.

  7. Remove the meat to a large plate or tray to let it rest while you prepare the next few steps.

  8. Remove the roasting pan from the stove.

  9. Place the onions in a single layer on the bottom of the roasting pan.

  10. Sprinkle over a few sprigs of rosemary.

  11. Place the meat on top of the onions and rosemary.

  12. If you have an oven-safe meat thermometer (such as an oven-proof digital meat thermometer), insert the needle into the centre of the meat.

  13. Place the roasting pan on the middle rack of the oven.

  14. Roast the meat until it is cooked to your liking. If you like your meat cooked medium, this should take approximately 45 minutes per kilo/20 minutes per pound, and the temperature reading should be around 55°C/131°F. As the meat rests, it will continue to cook from the residual heat and gradually reach 60°C/140°F. If you like your meat cooked rare or well-done, please see the table below.

Jacqueline ★ 5.0/5

It was very simple and easy to prepare and cook.

Darren ★ 5.0/5

Great recipe! I followed your instructions exactly and the meat was perfect. I was worried about serving the meat cold, but even after resting it, it was still warm enough to serve. Just make sure the gravy is hot.

Did you make this recipe?
