香草烤牛肉

Roast beef with herbs

Delicious, easy to prepare, full of the fresh flavour of herbs, roast beef Italian-style is the perfect Sunday lunch. Italians usually enjoy a first course of pasta or risotto followed by the roast beef served with a simple salad. 

美味、简单、充满香草味道的意式烤牛肉是完美的星期日午餐。意大利人经常用意面或者意大利调味饭作为第一道菜，然后就是烤牛肉了，也许一起上的还有沙拉。

Serves 4–6 

4-6人份

材料：

2 carrots, sliced lengthways 

2只胡萝卜，纵向切片

1.4kg/3lb 2oz topside of beef 

1.4千克牛后腿

100ml/3½fl oz/scant ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 

100毫升特级初榨橄榄油

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 

3瓣儿蒜，精切

needles from 3 sprigs of rosemary, finely chopped 

3条迷迭香枝上的针叶，精切

small bunch of thyme, finely chopped

一小束百里香，精切

2 tbsp finely chopped marjoram 

2汤匙马郁兰碎

a handful of parsley, finely chopped 

一把欧芹，精切

salt and freshly ground black pepper 

盐和新鲜黑胡椒

步骤：

Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6. 

预热烤箱约200摄氏度

Put the carrots in a roasting tin and place the beef on top (this prevents the meat from sticking to the tin). Combine the olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper and pour over the meat, rubbing well. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then cover with foil and continue to roast for 1¼ hours, turning the meat over after 30 minutes. 

把胡萝卜放在烤盘中，把牛肉放在上面，这一步可以防止牛肉粘到烤盘上。把橄榄油、蒜、各种香草和胡椒倒在肉上，用这些作料摩擦牛肉使其入味。烤20分钟，然后盖上锡箔，继续烤1小时15分钟，30分钟的时候把肉肉翻过来烤哦~

Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

从烤箱拿出来，等10分钟肉肉凉下来，切片开吃~
