One Tin Roast Beef with Hasselback Potatoes and Green Beans

One Tin Roast Beef with Hasselback Potatoes and Green Beans

by Sue Quinn from Roasting Tray Magic(Quadrille)听

This is a complete roast meal for four people cooked in just one vessel: huzzah for minimal washing up! The hasselback potatoes take a tad more effort than standard roasties, but they鈥檙e worth it, as they soak up all the delicious juices from the beef.

听

Serves: 4

Prep time: 10 mins

Cooking time:听 1hr 10mins approx

听

Ingredients

1.5kg boned joint of beef (topside/round or sirloin)

1 tbsp mustard powder or finely ground mustard seeds

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 tbsp dripping or lard

8 medium potatoes

250g fine green beans, trimmed

splash of olive oil

squeeze of lemon juice

听听

Method

Preheat the oven to 240掳C/Gas 9/475掳F.

Pat the beef dry with kitchen paper, and rub all over with the mustard and salt and pepper.

Place in a 30 x 20 x 5cm roasting tray, add the fat or lard and roast for 15 mins, basting halfway through.

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, then cut slits a few millimetres apart almost to the bottom, so the slices stay connected. The easiest way to do this is to sit a potato in the hollow of a wooden spoon 鈥� the edges of the spoon will prevent the knife from slicing all the way through.

Reduce the oven temperature to 180掳C/Gas 4/350掳F.

Add the potatoes to the tray, spoon over lots of the hot fat and season generously with salt and pepper.

Roast for 40 mins, basting the beef and potatoes frequently 鈥� for medium-rare, or medium, roast for 5鈥�10 mins longer.

Meanwhile, toss the beans in the olive oil and some lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Remove the beef from the roasting tray and transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and set aside.

Nudge the potatoes to one side of the roasting tray, add the beans (spread them out as much as possible) and return to the oven.

Increase the oven temperature to 200掳C/400掳F and roast for 15 mins, shaking the tray occasionally.

Carve the beef into thick slices and serve with the potatoes and beans, with the rested meat juices poured over.

听

Ingredients

1 tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing

500g leeks, trimmed, rinsed and cut into 1cm coins

2 tbsp olive oil

1 large egg

Place the leeks in the tray, season generously with salt and pepper and toss with the olive oil.

Dot the butter over the leeks, add a splash of water and cover tightly with foil.听 Bake for 30mins, shaking the tray occasionally.听
