For the recipe for roast beef with fried shallots and cucumbers, massage the beef with a pinch of fine salt and tie it with 1-2 sprigs of sage and rosemary using kitchen string. Brown the meat in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a little coarse salt and a knob of butter for 5-8 ', taking care to turn it until it is evenly colored. Place it in a pan and bake it at 240 ° C for about 30 '.
Remove from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack. Finely chop the onion and a sprig of parsley. Mix the yogurt, mayonnaise and onion with lemon juice, parsley and half a spoonful of turmeric. Leave to rest in the fridge. Thinly slice the shallots and flour them.
Put them in a colander and shake them to remove excess flour. Wash and thinly slice the cucumbers, with the peel, possibly using a mandolin. Fry the shallots in plenty of peanut oil until they become crunchy. Drain them on a sheet of kitchen paper and salt them. Serve immediately with the roast beef, accompanying it with cucumbers, a spoonful of yogurt sauce and a grated horseradish.
