Ingredients
7 items- Beef GirelloBeef girello (eye of round) or similar lean cut
- Extra Virgin Olive OilFor searing and finishing
- Coarse SaltCoarse salt, to taste
- 1/2 pcsLemonJuice only
- 1 tbspMustardYellow or Dijon mustard
- 1 pcsGarlic1 clove, crushed
- ThymeA few sprigs
Method
- Take a pan, turn on the heat and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Clean the beef cut (girello), removing any sinew and excess fat, leaving a thin layer of fat.
- Sear the meat in the hot oil, turning to brown on all sides, moving it occasionally for even contact.
- Once well seared, transfer the roast to a baking dish, drizzle with fresh olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Bake at 300°C (572°F) for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the meat rest.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: squeeze half a lemon, extract the juice without seeds.
- Add a tablespoon of mustard, a drizzle of oil, a clove of garlic (crushed), and a sprig of thyme. Mix well; the oil helps emulsify.
- Slice the rested roast beef and arrange the slices on a plate.
- Pour the sauce over the meat.
- Serve warm, not hot.
