Roasted Sirloin with Salsa Verde
- 1.5 kg sirloin of beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Rocket and crusty bread, to serve
- 2 tbsp capers, chopped
- 2 tbsp gherkins, chopped
- ½ bunch spring onion, chopped
- Small bunch of parsley, chopped
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 240C. Rub the beef all over with the oil, and season well with salt and pepper. Transfer to a roasting dish, and roast for 20 minutes. Turn the heat down to 190C, then roast for a further 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, or a little longer to your liking. Remove from the oven, and leave to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- While the meat is resting, make your salsa verde. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. To serve, thinly slice the beef, arrange on plates, top with the rocket, and drizzle with the salsa. Enjoy with crusty bread and a good glass of wine!
