Ingredients:
Beef Roast – 1 kg (2.2 lbs)
Rosemary – A few sprigs
Salt – To taste
Potatoes – 500g (about 4 medium potatoes)
Butter – 30g (2 tbsp)
Garlic – 1 clove (crushed)
How to Make It Tasty:
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Roast
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Rub the beef roast with salt and rosemary, ensuring the surface is evenly coated. You can also insert a few sprigs of rosemary into the roast for extra flavor.
Step 2: Sear the Beef
Heat a little oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef roast on all sides until browned. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. The searing helps lock in the juices and adds flavor.
Step 3: Roast the Beef
Transfer the beef roast to a roasting pan. Place it in the oven and roast for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 55°C (130°F) for medium-rare. You can adjust the roasting time depending on how well-done you prefer your roast.
Step 4: Prepare the Fondant Potatoes
Peel and trim the potatoes into thick discs (about 4-5 cm thick).
In a separate pan, heat the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the potatoes and cook for a few minutes until they start to brown on each side.
Add the crushed garlic and a splash of water, then cover the pan and cook for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Once the roast beef is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute and makes the meat even more tender.
Serve the perfectly cooked beef alongside the crispy, creamy fondant potatoes for a show-stopping meal.
Enjoy this perfect roast beef and fondant potatoes for a delicious and memorable Sunday lunch!
