Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. With a small, sharp knife, make 12 incisions 2 inches deep into the fleshy side of the leg. Insert a piece of garlic, half an anchovy and a small sprig of rosemary into each incision. Push them in with your little finger.
- Cream the butter with the remaining anchovies and smear it all over the meat. Sprinkle the meat generously with black pepper, place in a roasting pan and pour the wine around it. Tuck in any leftover sprigs of rosemary and pour the lemon juice over the meat.
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes; lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and roast for 1 hour more, basting from time to time with the juices. (Cook slightly longer, depending on how well done you like your meat.) Let rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, taste the juices, adding salt as needed. (It should not need much because of the anchovies.) If the gravy is too thin, simmer it in a skillet to thicken. If you choose, garnish the slices of lamb with sprigs of watercress. Serve with gravy and mashed potatoes or creamed eggplant.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Beef: Opt for a tender cut of beef, such as top sirloin or ribeye, to ensure a juicy and flavorful roast.
- Roast to Perfection: Cook the beef to your desired doneness, using a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
- Enhance Flavor with Herbs: Elevate the taste of the beef by rubbing it with a flavorful herb mixture before roasting. Consider using rosemary, thyme, and garlic for a classic combination.
- Make a Creamy Anchovy-Rosemary Mayonnaise: Combine mayonnaise, anchovies, rosemary, lemon juice, and capers to create a tangy and savory spread.
- Assemble the Wraps: Layer the roasted beef, watercress, and anchovy-rosemary mayonnaise in sturdy wraps or tortillas.
