Method
Preheat oven to 200ºC.
Tie the beef with short individual pieces of string at 5cm intervals.
Brush the beef roast lightly with oil and sear it on all sides over a moderately-high heat until it is evenly browned.
Season it with pepper and salt, and rub the fresh herbs over it.
Tuck a few bay leaves under the string.
Place it on a rack in a roasting dish.
Add a little water to the roasting dish (about ½ cup).
Roast for 60 minutes for rare, 75 minutes for medium and 90 minutes for well done. For ease and accuracy use a meat thermometer.
Remove beef, cover it loosely with foil, and rest it for 20 minutes before carving.
Serve with salad or roasted vegetables.
