Excellent meat, perfectly cooked and aromatic. It can be served on special occasions or as an everyday meal.

Thoroughly rinse the meat under running water and dry it with paper towels. Coat the meat on all sides with 2 tablespoons of oil, rubbing it in as much as possible. Then season the meat well on all sides with salt and pepper to create a firm crust around the meat. Rinse the garlic and crush it with a knife. Rinse the thyme sprigs and shake them dry.
Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Place a larger pan, which will later go into the oven, on the stove and heat it well. Add the remaining oil and wait for it to heat up. Place the meat in the hot oil and sear it well on all sides. Sear the meat for no more than a minute and a half on each side.
Add butter to the pan with the meat and let it melt. Add the garlic and thyme sprigs. Spread everything around the meat. Place the pan with the meat in the preheated oven and roast for 14 minutes. Every 2 minutes, baste the meat with the juices that accumulate in the pan. Every 4 minutes, turn the meat to ensure even browning.
Remove the meat from the oven. Place an upside-down spoon on a board and place the meat on the spoon. This will allow air to circulate around the meat. Let the meat rest for 5 to 10 minutes to cool slightly.
Slice the cooled meat into desired thickness and serve with roasted vegetables or sweet potatoes.
