Why should the meat rest until the next day?

The resting time lets the seasonings soak into the meat and makes the roll firmer and easier to roast evenly.

What are 'English potatoes'?

Whole, peeled potatoes placed in the roasting pan with the roast for the last 3/4 hour, cooking tender in the pan juices with a little salt.

Rolled beef roast (large-scale beef roulade)

About the dish

Opprullet oksestek er en storslått variant av rullestek: oksekammen krydres, spekkes med flesk, rulles og surres, og hviler til neste dag før steking. Den serveres med «engelske poteter» stekt i sjyen sammen med kjøttet.

How to make it

1
Season the meat
Cut the meat away from the bone and rub it with finely chopped onion, parsley, salt and pepper.
2
Roll and lard
Lard the meat with two rows of pork fat, roll it up and tie it with string. Let it rest this way until the next day.
3
Roast
Place the roll in the pan, drizzle over the melted butter and roast for about 1.5 hours.
4
English potatoes
Place whole, peeled potatoes in the pan with the roast for the last 3/4 hour. Sprinkle a little salt over them so they cook tender in the pan juices.
5
Serve
For sauce, use only the skimmed pan juices. Serve with the English potatoes.
