WHAT TEMPERATURE ROAST POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• Season the meat all over with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Heat a large oven-safe braising dish over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• When the oil is hot, carefully put the roast beef in the pot and sear it on each side. It takes 3 to 4 minutes on each side to brown well. It should take you 10 minutes at most. Use tongs to turn the meat in the pot.
• Remove the meat from the pot to a plate. Then use the empty pot to saute the garlic for 60 seconds, until fragrant.
• Add both the beef broth and the wine to the pot, and stir to combine. Add the Worcestershire sauce, along with the chopped potatoes, onions, and carrots to the pot. Then place the meat on top of the vegetables. The liquid should come at least halfway up the sides of the roast. If not, add more beef broth. Finally, add the rosemary sprig on top.
• Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the oven. Braise the meat for 3 hours. Then remove the pot from the oven and use a fork to test the meat. If the fork meets no resistance, it is cooked. 

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Pound the garlic, half the oregano, lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a pestle and mortar, then add the lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Stab the lamb all over with a sharp knife, then push as much of the herb paste as you can into the holes.
• Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin, then toss in the remaining olive oil and any remaining herb paste. Nestle the lamb amongst the potatoes, roast for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Roast for 1 hr 15 mins for medium-rare, adding another 15 mins if you prefer your lamb medium. Baste the lamb once or twice with the juices and toss the potatoes. When the lamb is done to your liking, remove from the tin and let it rest. Throw the rest of the oregano in with the potatoes, scoop from the tin and keep warm.
• Place the roasting tin over a medium flame, add the canned tomatoes and olives to the pan juices, then simmer for a few mins. Serve the lamb with the potatoes and sauce and a simple salad.
