How to make Slow roast beef

1. Lightly score the fat cap of the roast, making cuts about 2 cm apart with a sharp knife, taking care not to slice into the flesh.

2. Generously season the roast on all sides with salt and pepper.

3. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, rosemary, and 45 ml of oil, then rub the mixture all over the roast.

4. Loosely cover the roast with cling film and chill for at least 12 hours, or up to 2 days.

5. Preheat the oven to 95°C (fan oven).

6. Place the roast on a wire rack set inside a large rimmed baking tray.

7. Roast the meat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 48°C–49°C for medium-rare, which will take about 2½ hours.

8. Allow the roast to rest for 1 hour; the internal temperature will continue to rise to 52°C–54°C.

9. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, sour cream, horseradish, and lemon zest, then season the sauce with salt to taste.

10. Heat the remaining 30 ml of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

11. Cook the roast just until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

12. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and thinly slice.

13. Serve with horseradish sauce, rolls, and cornichons.

14. The beef can be roasted and browned up to 3 days in advance. Cover and chill, then let sit at room temperature for 1–2 hours before serving.
