Categories     Roast Beef

Time 2h

Yield 1 Roast

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (5 1/2 lb) sirloin beef, French trimmed (2.5 kilograms)
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
3 red onions, halved
2 heads garlic, plus
4 garlic cloves, peeled
7 lbs roasting potatoes, peeled
3 fresh rosemary sprigs
2 inches gingerroot, peeled and diced
2 cups red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), and heat a large thick-bottomed roasting tray on the stovetop.
  • Rub the beef generously with salt, then add a little olive oil to the tray and lightly color the meat for a couple of minutes on all sides.
  • Lay the onions and bulbs of garlic in the tray with the beef on top of them, then cook in the pre-heated oven for a total of 1 1/2 hours.
  • While the beef is roasting, parboil your potatoes in salted boiling water for around 10 minutes and drain in a colander.
  • Toss about to chuff them up, this will make them really crispy.
  • After 30 minutes, take the tray out and toss in your potatoes and rosemary. With a garlic press or grater, squeeze or grate the cloves of garlic and ginger over everything in the tray.
  • Shake the tray and whack it back in the oven for the final hour.
  • Remove the potatoes to a dish to keep warm, place the beef on a plate, covered with foil, to rest, and get your greens and Yorkshire puddings on.
  • Remove most of the fat from your roasting tray and you should be left with caramelized onions and sticky beef goodness.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of flour to the tray and mash everything together.
  • Heat the tray on the stovetop and when hot, add the red wine.
  • Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until your gravy is really tasty and coats back of a spoon.
  • Add any juice from the beef and feel free to add some water or stock to thin the gravy if you like.
