The Argentinian Beef Roast, known as matambre, is a dish that is wonderfully suited for a festive lunch, where tender and flavorful beef takes center stage. The preparation requires a precisely thick slice of beef, allowing for even cooking and a succulent result. The secret of matambre lies in the marinade with white wine vinegar, which not only adds flavor but also helps keep the meat soft and moist during cooking. This dish, typical of Argentine tradition, is often accompanied by fresh sides like spinach and carrots, which balance the richness of the meat. Ideal for a family table or a dinner among friends, the Argentinian Beef Roast is perfect to enjoy with a good red wine, enhancing the robust and enveloping flavors of this main course. With its simple yet flavorful preparation, it is perfect for warming cold winter days, bringing a piece of Argentina directly to our table.

Have your butcher prepare the meat: it should be a slice about 1/2 cm thick, approximately 30 cm wide and 40-50 cm long. Lay it completely open in a glass or ceramic baking dish, wet it with vinegar and sprinkle with half of the garlic and thyme. Then fold it in half, wet it again with vinegar, and add the remaining herbs. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate overnight at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius, remove the slice of meat from the marinade, drain it well, and place the spinach leaves on top, the carrots sliced about 1 cm thick, the eggs arranged in the spaces between the carrots, the onion rings, and finally sprinkle with parsley and salt. Gently roll the slice to form a cylinder, tie it with string, place the matambre in a covered baking dish, moisten it with hot broth, and add water so that the meat is completely covered. Put the lid on the dish, bake, and cook for about 1 hour. Then place the roast on a wooden cutting board and, after letting it rest for about 10 minutes, remove the string and slice it into fairly thick pieces, moistening them with the remaining cooking juices. It can also be eaten cold.
