This delicious, mouthwatering garlic and lemon-crusted roast beef is great for a Sunday lunch with family and friends. Crushed-up garlic, herbs and lemon make a flavoursome rub for this topside roast beef, and once roasted, a delicious crust is formed on the roast beef. Serve this with a loaf of fresh artisan bread from the bakery, or try out some homemade Yorkshire pudding and roast vegetables for a real English roast.
