Instructions:
Roast the Beef:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rub the beef roast with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
Pour in the beef broth and red wine (if using).
Roast the beef in the oven for about 1–1.5 hours, depending on your preferred level of doneness (use a meat thermometer: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with gravy before serving.
Prepare the Roast Potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss chopped potatoes in olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast for 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
Make the Mashed Potatoes:
Boil peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes, until fork-tender.
Drain and return to the pot. Mash with butter and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Make the Yorkshire Pudding:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, and salt.
Pour vegetable oil into a muffin tin and place it in the oven while preheating to 425°F (220°C).
Once the oil is hot, pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup halfway.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
Cook the Carrots and Greens:
For the carrots, sauté them in butter with a pinch of salt and pepper for 5 minutes. Add honey for a glazed effect, if desired.
For the greens, sauté in a pan with butter, salt, and pepper until tender.
Prepare the Stuffing:
Prepare stuffing according to the package directions, using chicken broth and butter for extra flavor.
Assemble the Plate:
Arrange a slice of roast beef on the plate and drizzle with rich gravy.
Add a portion of crispy roast potatoes, creamy mashed potatoes, a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, sautéed carrots, greens, and a generous serving of savory stuffing.
Serve this comforting dinner with a glass of red wine for the ultimate feast!
