  • Put a little oil in a roasting pan (or you can use a large baking tray).
  • Add the bones from the roast beef, the carrots cut lengthwise, the celery stalks (cut lengthwise), and the onions.
  • Rub the meat with crushed garlic, salt, pepper, ground oregano, bay leaf, and cover it with slices of raw bacon.
  • In another pan or in the microwave, melt the butter. With a syringe, inject the meat.
  • Bake slowly at 300 degrees Celsius and take it out of the oven after 20 minutes.
  • Every time you take it out of the oven, baste it with its juices and add a little more salt.
  • Return the meat to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • Add a cup of cold water to the tray and return the meat to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  • Remove the meat from the oven, strain the juices and vegetables through a chinois. Keep the meat covered.
  • Heat the strained juices in a small pot and add half a can of beef consommé. Also add a little Bovril sauce (or Worcestershire sauce or Maggi sauce). Heat over low heat.
  • Once the sauce evaporates, taste it and if it is too thick, add more beef broth. If it lacks flavor, add a little salt or more Bovril.
  • Slice the meat very thin and serve it with the hot sauce on the side in a gravy boat.
