    • Garlic cloves (minced)
    • Olive oil

Preparation

  1. Marinate the Meat
    • Rub the meat generously with salt, pepper, and your chosen spices.
    • Mix minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs. Coat the meat evenly and let it marinate for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables (if using)
    • Wash and cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
    • Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary.



Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    • Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Sear the Meat
    • In a hot pan, sear the meat on all sides until it forms a golden-brown crust. This step locks in the juices and enhances flavor.
  3. Roast the Meat
    • Place the seared meat on a roasting rack or tray. Add the seasoned vegetables around the meat.
    • Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes per pound of meat for medium-rare (adjust according to your preference).
  4. Monitor the Temperature
    • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness:
      • Medium-rare: 57°C (135°F)
      • Medium: 63°C (145°F)
      • Well-done: 71°C (160°F)

Resting and Serving

  1. Rest the Meat
    • Remove the meat from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful.
  2. Serve
    • Slice the meat against the grain and serve with the roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh herbs for an elegant touch.

Tips for Success

  • Quality Matters: Use fresh, high-quality meat for the best results.
  • Experiment with Spices: Customize the seasoning to your taste.
  • Patience is Key: Don’t rush the resting process—it’s essential for tender meat.
