Roasting
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the Noble Sirloin in the oven for about 3.5 to 4 hours.
Ensure the meat is evenly spitted to avoid uneven cooking.
Add a little clean dripping into the dripping pan.

What each ingredient does
- Noble sirloin of beef
- Forms the roast itself, supplying the main meat, texture and flavour as it cooks slowly.
- Clean dripping
- Adds fat to the pan that helps the surface brown and keeps the meat from drying out.
The step that matters
Ensure the meat is evenly spitted. A roast of uneven thickness cooks unevenly, so thin areas can overcook and dry out while thick areas stay underdone. Even shape gives a uniform cook.
