    Remove and place on a baking tray. Mix 2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper and 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Spread the meat all around.

  3. 3

    Insert a roasting thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. Cook in a hot oven for about 3 hours (at a core temperature of 58-65°C the meat has a thoroughly pink core).

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cover the potatoes with their skins and boil them in water for about 20 minutes. Peel and finely dice 2 shallots. Melt butter in a pot. Sauté diced shallots in it. Dust with flour and sweat lightly.

    Remove the meat, wrap in aluminium foil and let it rest for 30-40 minutes. Increase oven temperature (electric cooker: 225°C/circulating air: 200°C/gas: level 4). Gratinate the potatoes in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes.
