This weekend we had some good friends over for dinner, (what a treat after more than a year with no social life whatsoever ) on the menu for our main dish, roast-beef under a salt crust aka roast-beef a l’inglese . You can prepare everything ahead nice and easy. Perfect on a warm summer evening (or day) with a salad or vegetables on the grill.
Ingredients
- 1kg of sirloin
- 2 to 3 kg of sea salt
- Black pepper
- A bit of water
Massage the beef with pepper lots of pepper, if you want you can ad some fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage, but today I only used the black pepper.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees.
Spread a layer of salt on the bottom of a pan. ( about 4 cm)
Place the meat on top of the salt and then cover it completely, including the sides.
Moisten the salt with a little water.
Put your pan in the preheated oven, and bake. You have to calculate 20 minutes every 1/2 kg of meat. So 1kg of meat means 40 minutes. Adjust accordingly to the weight of your meat.
After cooking, remove the meat from the salt by braking the crust and gently scrapping off the excess salt.
Cut the meat into thin slices, I use a slicing machine, this will give you the perfect result
Done
Buon appetito !
