Ingredient Tips to Elevate Your Dish
Choose the Right Cut of Beef:
- Opt for cuts with marbling tiny streaks of fat for extra tenderness and flavor. If you're unsure, ask your butcher for recommendations—they’ll guide you to the best roast for your needs.
Use Fresh Herbs When Possible:
- Fresh rosemary and thyme will give your roast a vibrant aroma and robust flavor. If using dried herbs remember that a little goes a long way!
Invest in Quality Olive Oil :
- These two ingredients subtly enhance the dish. High-quality olive oil ensures your roast stays moist during cooking while Vinegre adds a sophisticated richness.
Customizable Spice Level:
- Want more heat? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the spice mix. Prefer it milder? Stick to smoked paprika and black pepper for a more subtle kick.
Prepare Ahead:
- If time permits marinate the beef overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate deeper into the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender roast.
