- 5-5 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 8.4 gram Cane Sugar about
- 91 gram Olive Oil

ACCESSORIES

Instructions
ROAST BEEF
- Score the fat on the roast in a crosshatch pattern.
- Brown the roast on a very hot pan on all sides.
- Start with the fat side down, so the fat renders and the browning occurs in its own fat.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the roast in an ovenproof dish, put it in the oven, and set to 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Roast until the internal temperature measured with a meat thermometer is 58-65 degrees Celsius (136-149 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on how rare you want the roast to be.
- This takes about 1 hour.
- Let the roast rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing across the grain.
BAKED ONIONS AND TOMATOES
- Cut the onions in half.
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Place in an ovenproof dish, season with thyme, salt, pepper, and a bit of sugar.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (347 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for about 45 minutes.
- This can be done before the roast goes in the oven, and the vegetables can be warmed while the roast rests.
- Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables just before serving.
PARISIAN SAUCE
- Mix mayonnaise with crème fraîche, mustard, finely chopped shallots, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, and season with lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground pepper.
- The sauce will have more flavor if it sits for at least 30 minutes.
- The shelf life is only one day due to the raw onions and parsley.
- Enjoy slices of roast with baked onions and tomatoes, pieces of potato rösti and Parisian sauce.
