👨🍳 Instructions
Mise en Place
20 minBegin by preparing all your ingredients: mince the garlic, chop the rosemary and thyme, and peel and cut the vegetables as described. Having everything ready before cooking ensures smooth execution.
💡 Tip: Use a sharp chef's knife to ensure precision and efficiency in your prep work.
Preheat and Prepare Beef
10 minPreheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6). Combine olive oil, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to make a marinade. Rub this mixture all over the beef, making sure to cover it evenly.
💡 Tip: Let the beef sit at room temperature with the marinade for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor infusion.
Roast the Beef
50 minPlace the beef in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 45-50 minutes for medium-rare, basting occasionally with its juices.
💡 Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 55°C for medium-rare.
Prepare and Roast Vegetables
40 minToss potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and Brussels sprouts with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden and tender.
💡 Tip: Ensure vegetables are spread out evenly on the baking sheet for even roasting.
Rest the Beef
15 minRemove the beef from the oven and let it rest under foil for 15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
💡 Tip: Resting is crucial for juicy, tender meat.
Make the Gravy
10 minPlace the roasting pan over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef stock, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer until thickened.
💡 Tip: Taste and adjust seasoning of the gravy as needed.
Carve and Serve
10 minCarve the beef against the grain into slices. Arrange the roasted vegetables and beef on a platter, drizzle with gravy, and garnish with chopped parsley.
💡 Tip: Carving against the grain ensures tenderness.
