Juicy beef in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The key to roasting beef is to ensure the meat doesn't end up dry and tough. Every homemaker has their own special tricks for this, and I'd like to share with you my simple recipe for juicy beef baked in the oven. The secret of this method lies, first, in a special marinade, and second, in baking the beef in a cooking bag (or foil). This way, the marinade infuses and tenderizes the meat, while the bag prevents the juices from evaporating. As a result, with this simple recipe for juicy oven-baked beef, you get wonderfully tender meat—perfect for any celebration. The finished dish is ready to be served.

Step 5
We pour this mixture over our beef and place the meat into a roasting bag, tying the ends of the bag. Put the bagged meat into a baking dish and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for one hour. About 10 minutes before the meat is done, carefully cut open the roasting bag, pour the juices accumulated at the bottom of the dish over the beef, then cover the meat with the bag again.
