Roasted meat with lemon juice is a classic example of simple ingredients creating an amazing harmony of flavors. Lemon juice penetrates the beef, making it tender and adding a tangy citrus note, while garlic and spices provide a rich aroma. This marinating method has been known since ancient times in Mediterranean cuisine, where the combination of meat and acidic components is valued. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family evening, pairing well with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. The beef turns out juicy and rich, while the gentle acidity of lemon makes it especially appetizing.
