Roast beef for 40 minutes for rare, 50 minutes for medium and 60 minutes for well done. For ease and accuracy use a meat thermometer. Cover the roast with foil if overbrowning.

Tips
-
The salsa verde would be great with any cut of lamb as a sauce.
-
You could substitute any type of herb for the mint and coriander in the salsa verde – for a greek twist use oregano and parsley and serve with Greek salad.
-
Any leftover lamb could be used in a salad or wrap the next day.
