Sear all over, then roast at 200 °C. The sear works in a hot pan or over hot coals.

Steak doneness is a preference. USDA: whole beef/lamb 63 °C before removal + 3 min rest. For children, pregnant people, older adults or weakened immunity: choose medium-well or above and check with a thermometer. Mince, burgers, kafta and meat sausages: 71 °C. Poultry: 74 °C.

Method Sear, then oven at 200 °C
Time 20–40 min
Pull at 50 °C · medium-rare
Rest 10 min

Directions

  1. Salt an hour ahead. Tie with string every 3 cm, folding any thin end under.
  2. Sear all over in a hot pan or over hot coals, 6–8 minutes in total.
  3. Roast at 200 °C: about 12–15 minutes for 500 g, 18–20 for 1 kg, 25–30 for 2 kg.
  4. Pull at 50 °C. It climbs to medium-rare as it rests.
  5. Rest 10 minutes, then slice 2 cm thick.
🔥 Butcher’s tip Go by the thermometer. A long piece and a short piece of the same thickness take nearly the same time.
