Sure thing! Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe for roast beef and fries:
Ingredients:
For the roast beef:
- 2 lbs of beef (such as sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
For the fries:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon of paprika (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
- Prepare the roast beef: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the beef, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned beef on a roasting pan or baking dish, and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your beef more well-done. Remember to adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your beef.
- While the beef is roasting, prepare the fries: In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using), until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Once the beef has been roasting for about 15 minutes, place the fries in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Once the roast beef is done to your desired level of doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the roast beef slices alongside the crispy fries, and enjoy your delicious meal!
