Roast Beef with Green Beans and Potato Wedges

Roast Beef with Green Beans and Potato Wedges


Roast Beef with Green Beans and Potato Wedges

A hearty, classic roast beef dinner served with crispy potato wedges and tender green beans. This recipe ensures juicy beef, golden potatoes, and perfectly seasoned beans.

Ingredients

For the Roast Beef:
  • 3-4 lb beef roast (ribeye, top round, or sirloin tip)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth or red wine (optional, for basting)
For the Potato Wedges:
  • 1.5 lbs potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Green Beans:
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast Beef:

    • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
    • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Rub the mixture evenly over the roast.
    • Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. For extra flavor, pour beef broth or red wine into the pan to use for basting.

  2. Start Roasting:

    • Roast the beef in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to develop a crust.
    • Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue cooking for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches:
      • 125°F (52°C) for rare
      • 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare
      • 145°F (63°C) for medium
    • Baste the roast with pan juices every 20-30 minutes for added moisture.

  3. Prepare the Potato Wedges:

    • While the beef is roasting, toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
    • During the last 30 minutes of roasting time, place the potatoes in the oven. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

  4. Cook the Green Beans:

    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
    • Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  5. Rest the Roast:

    • Once the roast reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes, loosely tented with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  6. Assemble and Serve:

    • Slice the roast beef against the grain into thin slices.
    • Plate the beef with crispy potato wedges and sautéed green beans. Optionally, drizzle some pan juices or gravy over the beef.
