Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Make deep slits along the beef loin and rub salt, ground black pepper, ground coriander, paprika, and olive oil all over the meat.
- Stuff the crushed garlic into the slits of the beef and insert the onion half-rings. Tie the beef with kitchen twine to hold everything together.
Baking
- Spread remaining onion half-rings on a parchment paper. Place the tied beef on top, wrap it in parchment and cover it with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40-45 minutes.
Preparing Sides
- Slice the eggplants and sprinkle them with salt. Let them rest for about 10-15 minutes to draw out moisture.
- In a small saucepan, cook orange juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce together until thickened for the glaze.
Final Cooking
- After initial baking, remove beef from oven and brush glaze generously over the meat. Return to oven for an additional 15 minutes.
Frying Eggplant
- Rinse salted eggplant slices to remove excess salt and pat them dry. Heat olive oil in a pan and fry slices until golden brown.
Making the Salad
- In a bowl, combine chopped cherry tomatoes, finely chopped garlic, cilantro, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to mix.
Serving
- Slice the beef into thick portions and plate it with the eggplant-tomato salad on the side.
Notes
For better flavors, consider marinating the beef with seasoning for a few hours or overnight. You can also add more veggies to the salad, such as bell peppers or cucumbers.
