Allow the meat to marinate for an hour to absorb the flavors.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

Roast the marinated meat in the preheated oven for 1 to 1.5 hours depending on how well done you prefer your meat.

After roasting, let the meat rest before slicing to ensure it retains its juiciness.

Serve the succulent slices with a side of roasted root vegetables.
