What was the cut of beef?

5
- Butcher here. Long, roughly circular roast, very lean with a cap of fat on top - looks like Eye of Round.

  Looks like it might be a top round. Excellent cut for a nice slow roast and you got a great cook on it.

- It wasn’t fillet. Unfortunately I can’t remember what cut it was. Wife got the meat and I literally had to google how to cook it, lol.

  Looks to me like eye of round (redondo). When done right, like this, its flavor and consistency are excellent. Once you get the formula down don't f with it. I use high heat for x minutes per kg, then drop it down to very low heat for 10 minutes, pull, cover with foil & towel & rest until ready.
  
  Eye of round has little fat cap & hardly any marbling, so over cooking will dry it out, undercooking will make it tough & chewey.

Sear before or after cooking?

- After, then into tinfoil for about 10 minutes

Havent ever had roast beef (I think), what was your process. How did you achieve medium with 4h of cook time?

1
- Basically I did nothing but throwing it in the oven with pretty low temperature (about 70°C) until the meat was medium (around 65°C core temp). After that, searing and putting in tinfoil for another few minutes. All that keeps the meat super soft and very tasty.

Great job! Looks amazing. Did you eat any of it cold?

1
- Unfortunately there was nothing left. The family really enjoyed the meal. I had cold Roastbeef already but not my own.
