Roast Beef

Season the beef, after being thoroughly washed, with salt and thyme

Butter it well, place it in a baking dish, and put it in the hot oven, constantly basting it with the proper gravy that forms in the baking dish

After about an hour or so, it should be nicely browned on the outside and pink on the inside

Serve it cut into thin slices, on a platter, with the gravy served separately, in a gravy boat

If you like, use this gravy to make a roux with bread crumbs.
