This dish brings together the rich, tender flavors of roast beef with the aromatic, bold taste of satay, offering a twist you’ll want to try. The creamy, spiced sauce makes this a mouth-watering, savory experience that’s perfect for any dinner table. If you love bold flavors and juicy roast beef, this recipe will be a hit!
Method
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that the oven reaches the right temperature by the time you’re ready to roast the beef. Preheating helps the roast cook evenly and helps lock in all those flavorful juices.
2. Prepare the Beef
Next, take your roast beef and rub it all over with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper generously to season it, and then add the garlic powder and ginger powder. These spices will give the beef a warm, aromatic flavor that complements the satay sauce perfectly. Make sure to rub the seasonings well into the meat so that every bite is packed with flavor.
3. Make the Satay Sauce
In a small mixing bowl, combine the satay sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until well mixed. This sauce will be the star of the dish, giving it that rich, creamy texture and bold, aromatic flavor that makes satay so irresistible. You can either use store-bought satay sauce or make your own from scratch if you prefer.
4. Roast the Beef
Place the seasoned roast beef on a roasting tray or baking pan, making sure it sits flat and is evenly spaced. Brush a generous amount of the satay sauce mixture over the beef, making sure the entire surface is coated. Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes. Cooking time depends on your preferred level of doneness for medium-rare, aim for about 35 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
5. Baste and Finish
Halfway through the cooking time, take the beef out and use a spoon or basting brush to baste it with the juices and satay sauce from the pan. This step will help keep the meat moist and allow the satay sauce to penetrate further into the beef. Return the beef to the oven to finish roasting, continuing to baste it every 10-15 minutes for maximum flavor and juiciness.
6. Rest and Slice
Once the beef is done to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Resting is crucial because it allows the juices inside the beef to redistribute, resulting in a much juicier and tender roast. After resting, use a sharp knife to slice the beef thinly against the grain for the best texture and flavor.

- Baste regularly If you want the roast to stay moist and absorb all that rich satay flavor, be sure to baste it halfway through roasting.
