Roast Beef Palette Roulé

Sorry, don't know what this meat cut is in English. If you live in Qc, just look up this cut on the packaging. I tend to just throw a bunch of stuff together, so I can't give exact quantities, but this recipe was AWESOME. The cut made a big difference in the taste.

Put roast beef in an oven-safe dish
Add some balsamic vinegar, worcestershire sauce and a little water over the meat. This quantity of this mixture should cover the bottom of your dish (a few millimeters deep).
Sprinkle some rosemary, fresh chopped basil and a pinch of Montreal steak spice.
Add a small bay leaf to the liquid.
Cook at 350 C (about an hour 15 mins depending on the size of the cut).
