Instructions

1. Wash the beef leg slices and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Score the outer fat with a sharp knife in a few places to prevent the meat from curling during cooking.
3. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika powder.
4. Quarter the shallots, finely chop the garlic, and quarter the ginger root lengthways.
5. Tie the rosemary, thyme, and marjoram sprigs together with kitchen twine to form a bouquet.
6. Preheat the oven to 140°C / 284°F (fan oven).
