1. Prepare Roast Beef like a Chef
You need a well-hung piece of roast beef. Get the meat from the butcher, preferably one week before preparation. The roast beef should be matured for at least three weeks so that the meat ends up on the plate tender as butter. Let the butcher vacuum the meat, put it in the fridge at home and let it mature for another week.
2. Marinate Roast Beef
Professionals prepare the marinade for the roast beef the day before. Unpack the roast beef, wash under cold running water and dry. Apply the marinade to the meat with your hands or with a brush and wrap or cover with cling film. Put the marinated roast beef in the fridge.3. Prepare the Roast Beef in the Oven
There are different variants for it, two of them I would like to introduce to you briefly:3.1 Roast Beef Low Temperature
Preheat the oven to 120°C, top and bottom heat. Brown the meat in a pan or in a roaster from all sides with a little vegetable oil. Wrap the meat in aluminium foil and place in the oven. You should now expect a cooking time of 45 to 60 minutes per kg of meat.3.2 Roast Beef in the Oven quick Variation
Preheat the oven to 220°C with hot air. Brown the meat in a pan or in a roaster from all sides with a little vegetable oil. Wrap the meat in aluminium foil and place in the oven. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 150°C and continue cooking the roast beef to the desired cooking temperature.

Let the butcher prepare the grilled beef, then cut the fat layer into a grid.

Peel the garlic and chop finely. I do not press the garlic as it becomes bitter and hot.
Stir the garlic with the remaining ingredients into the vegetable oil and rub well into the roast beef.
Stir the garlic with the remaining ingredients into the vegetable oil and rub well into the roast beef.
When the oven temperature is reached, quickly place the marinated roast beef in the middle of the grill grid and quickly close the oven again.
Cook the roast beef for 15 minutes at 220°C, then reduce the temperature to 150°C and cook for a further 25-35 minutes at the desired temperature.
Switch off the oven and let the meat rest for about 10 minutes.
Then either cut off finger-thick steaks and serve with side dishes or let the roast beef cool down and serve thinly sliced with various dips or cold sauces.
