Stir together garlic, shallot, herbs, oil, kosher salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper, then rub all over beef. Marinate in a sealed large bag, chilled, 1 day.

Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before roasting.

Cook garlic in oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, sugar, 1/4 teaspoons table salt, 1/8 teaspoons pepper, and 120ml Madeira and briskly simmer, stirring frequently and crushing tomatoes with a heatproof rubber spatula, until tomatoes start to break down and oil separates slightly, about 1 hour.

Mash garlic into tomatoes with spatula, then stir in 60ml Madeira. Discard bay leaf.

Precalienta el horno a 177°C con la rejilla en el centro.

Roast beef in a 17- by 11-inch shallow heavy baking pan until an instant-read thermometer inserted into centre of thickest part of meat registers 49°C, 35 to 45 minutes.

Transfer to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 to 20 minutes (temperature of meat will rise to about 54°C, for medium-rare).

Meanwhile, add water and remaining 60ml Madeira to baking pan and deglaze over medium-low heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, 1 minute. Stir into tomato confit.

Cut off and discard string from beef, then cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with confit.
