Cooking steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks and pop onto a lined baking tray.
- Toss with thyme, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.
- Spread out in a single layer.
- Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.
2
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
3
- Pop the carrots onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Toss with the garlic, salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer.
- Roast in the middle shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
4
- Meanwhile, place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper.
- 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: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
5
- Place a pot over medium heat and pour in the creme fraiche.
- Add the blue cheese and allow to melt and the sauce to warm through.
- Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if required. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Not a fan of blue cheese? Don't worry, this sauce will still be delicious without!
6
- After the beef has rested for 1-2 mins, thinly slice.
- Divide the roasted potatoes and carrots between plates.
- Serve the beef alongside with the blue cheese sauce drizzled over.
