About the dish

Wołowina pieczona or roast beef is a Polish meat specialty. It is usually made with beef that is rubbed with dried herbs, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roasted in a baking dish until tender and moist. The meat is sometimes soaked overnight in a marinade of mustard, dried herbs, garlic, and seasonings before cooking. It can also be slightly braised in a dry pan before it is roasted with chopped onions and carrots. The beef is cut into thin slices and typically served with the cooking sauce drizzled over it. This dish is usually eaten for lunch or dinner alongside steamed vegetables, fresh salads, or hard cheeses. Thin slices of roast beef go well in sandwiches, salads, spring rolls, or frittatas.
