William's roast beef
This very flavourful roast beef is appropriate for any special occasion or Sunday lunch. The marinade in this recipe tenderises the roast and the leftovers make fantastic sandwiches.

- 3 teaspoons grated fresh root ginger
- 5 tbsp orange marmalade
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp dark brown soft sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

- Mix together the ginger, marmalade, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, hot sauce and mustard. Stir in the lager. Poke holes all over the joint with a fork. Pour marinade over joint. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, basting at least twice.
- Preheat the oven to 200 C / Gas 6.
- Place joint on a rack in a roasting tin. Pour about 250ml of marinade into the roasting tin, and discard remaining marinade. Pour olive oil over joint, and season with freshly ground black pepper. Insert a thermometer into the middle of the roast, making sure that the thermometer does not touch any bone. Cover roasting tin with aluminium foil, and seal edges tightly around tin.
- Cook roast for 1 hour in the preheated oven. After the first hour, remove the aluminium foil. Baste, reduce heat to 170 C / Gas 3, and continue roasting for 1 more hour. The thermometer reading should be at least 60 degrees C for medium-rare, and 75 degrees C for well done. Remove roasting tin from oven, place aluminium foil over roast, and let rest for about 30 minutes before slicing.

This is an excellent recipe! I was a bit afraid of ruining an expensive cut of meat. Not a chance--everyone loved it. It was still rare at 2 hours, so gave it another 1/2 hour--tender, juicy and still some rare for those that like rare and medium to medium well for others. We will be having this one again! Thanks so much. - 01 Dec 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This recipe would be better on a pork tenderloin. If you are looking for a traditional prime recipe, than this is not the one for you. It did make the best sandwiches the next day. - 29 Mar 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was delicious! We made it for Thanksgiving and it was so tender. My husband thought there was too much garlic, but I couldn't disagree more! We used this recipe for a little over 3 lb piece of prime rib and I have one word for it.....YUM! - 12 Dec 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
