\n2 medium onions
\n2 carrots
\n2 sticks celery
\n1 bulb of garlic
\n1 bunch of mixed fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, bay, sage
\nolive oil<\/p>\n
\nPreheat the oven to 240\u00b0C\/475\u00b0F\/ gas 9.
\nWash and roughly chop the vegetables \u2013 there\u2019s no need to peel them. Break the garlic bulb into cloves, leaving them unpeeled.
\nPile all the veg, garlic, and herbs into the middle of a large roasting tray and drizzle with oil.
\nDrizzle the beef with oil and season well with sea salt and black pepper, then rub all over the meat. Place the beef on top of the vegetables.
\nPlace the tray in the oven, then turn the heat down immediately to 200\u00b0C\/400\u00b0F\/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes.
\nIf you\u2019re doing roast potatoes and veggies, this is the time to crack on with them \u2013 get them into the oven for the last 45 minutes of cooking.
\nBaste the beef halfway through cooking and if the veg looks dry, add a splash of water to the tray to stop them from burning.
\nWhen the beef is cooked to your liking, take the tray out of the oven and transfer the beef to a board to rest for 15 minutes or so. Cover it with a layer of tin foil and a tea towel and leave it aside while you make your gravy, horseradish sauce, and Yorkshire puddings.<\/p>\n
