Method

  1. Mix 1 tbsp soy, the vinegar, and 3 tbsp olive oil with 4 cloves garlic, crushed. Set aside. Season the beef with plenty of salt and put in a large plastic zip bag with the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  2. Let the beef come to room temperature a couple of hours before roasting. Pat dry and season again. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan and sear the beef well on all sides, then put it in a large roasting tin with the shallots. Sprinkle over half the rosemary and roast for 25 minutes for rare beef (give it another 10 minutes for medium-rare), cover with foil and a tea towel while you cook the mushrooms.
  3. Mix the mushrooms with the remaining olive oil, soy sauce, garlic cloves and rosemary. Put the mix on a large shallow baking tray, season and roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Slice the meat and serve with a spoonful of mushrooms and shallots.

    Really simple to make but tasted superb! The muhsrooms soaked up the flavours and were beautifully moist and tender. Other half loved it! Served it with tiny new boiled potatoes and a crisp green salad with avocados and black olives.

    Minimum effort but great results. I only used normal brown and white button mushrooms and served it with the recommended carrot, parsnip and horseradish gratin. The whole meal won raves all around.
