Herby Roast Beef with Roasted Vegetables
Background
This herby roast beef is a classic Sunday lunch dish that works well for a traditional roast dinner or a relaxed family meal. The beef is coated in a simple mustard and herb glaze, then roasted alongside vegetables so everything cooks together and develops plenty of flavour.
It’s a straightforward roast that doesn’t require complicated preparation, but still feels special when brought to the table. The vegetables soak up the roasting juices, and any pan juices can be turned into a simple gravy to serve alongside.
Serve with mashed or roasted potatoes and extra steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete feast.
Ingredients
- For the beef:
- 1.5 kg beef joint
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 4 thyme sprigs, leaves only
- 1 rosemary sprig, leaves only
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetables:
- ½ garlic bulb, halved
- 2 carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 small courgette or 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 onions, quartered or halved
- 6 baby beetroot
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Salt and pepper
- A drizzle of port or red wine (optional)
Instructions
- Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat a little oil in a pan and sear the beef on all sides for 5–10 minutes until browned. Remove from the heat and rest for 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Mix the oregano, thyme leaves, rosemary leaves, Dijon mustard, olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl to form a paste.
- Place the prepared vegetables, onions and garlic in a roasting tin. Drizzle with olive oil and port, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle over a little oregano.
- Place the beef on top of the vegetables and brush generously all over with the herb and mustard mixture.
- Roast for about 60 minutes, or until the beef reaches your preferred doneness (around 60°C for medium or 70°C for well done).
- Remove from the oven and cover loosely. Rest the beef for 10 minutes before carving.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving dish.
- Use the roasting juices to make a simple gravy if desired.
- Slice the beef and serve with the roasted vegetables and your choice of sides.
