Instructions:
Prepare Beef
- Take beef out of the fridge 2 – 3 hours before cooking to bring to room temp (key tip for even cooking). Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/460°F (220°C fan). Adjust the shelf so beef will be sitting in the middle of the oven.
- Garlic Herb Butter: Mix together.
- Roasting bed: Place onion, garlic and herbs in a heavy based ovenproof skillet (or use a roasting pan).
- Spread a thin layer of butter on the underside of the beef (ie the bone side).
- Place beef on onion etc, butter side down. Spread about 2/3 of the butter on the top and sides (reserve some for Slather 2).
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove, spread over remaining butter. Turn the oven down to 120°C/250°F (100°C fan).
- Slow roast for a further 1 1/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the juices in the pan, until the internal temperature is 50°C/122°F in the center (temperatures will vary for prefered cook)
- Start checking the internal temp early.
- Transfer beef to plate. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 20 – 30 minutes. Internal temperature will rise to 54°C/129°F (which is medium rare).
Red Wine Sauce
- Place a skillet with onion and garlic left in it on the stove over high heat.
- Add wine and beef stock, rapidly simmer for 10 minutes until it reduces by 2/3 or so, down to 1 1/2 cups or liquid.
- Lower heat to medium. Mix cornflour with 2 tbsp water. Drizzle in half and stir. Sauce will thicken in 1 minute or so. Add more corn flour water mixture if you want it thicker.
- Strain into bowl, pour into sauce jug
