Why It Works

• The combination of honey and garlic creates a sweet and savory flavor that is irresistible.
• Ghee, or clarified butter, adds a rich and nutty flavor to the sauce.
• Marinating the beef in the honey garlic mixture for at least 2 hours allows the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• Roasting the beef in a hot oven creates a beautiful crust on the outside, while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
