Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Pick rosemary leaves from stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).
- Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices then into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).
- Pop the chips onto a large (lined) baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt, pepper and half the rosemary. Toss to coat. Spread out in one layer.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Peel the garlic cloves. Pop half into a piece of foil with a good glug of oil and scrunch to enclose.
- When the oven is hot, roast the potatoes on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
- Add the garlic parcel to the tray for 10-12 mins of cooking time then remove.
- Meanwhile, grate the remaining garlic (or use a garlic press).
3
- Trim the bottom 2cm from the asparagus and discard.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the asparagus and remaining garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Fry for 1 min, then add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil.
- Cook until tender, 4-6 mins, then remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
4
- Once the garlic has cooled, add it to a small bowl along with 1tbsp butter (double for 4p) and remaining rosemary.
- Mash everything with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, mix to combine and set aside.
- Season the beef rump with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging.
5
- Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once the oil is hot, fry the beef until browned, 1-2 mins each side for medium-rare.
- Cook for another 1-2 mins on each side if you like it medium and a further 1-2 mins on each side if you want it well-done. IMPORTANT: Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
- In the final 1 min of cooking, add the garlic butter and baste the beef.
- Once cooked transfer to a board, cover and allow to rest.
6
- Thinly slice the beef rump then plate up with the potatoes and garlicky asparagus alongside.
- Drizzle any buttery juices over the beef and asparagus.
