Roast Beef with Shallots and New Potatoes

Here's a tried-and-true winter roast, with a straightforward and quick preperation with a side of potatoes.  You only need green beans to complete the meal!  To be honest, I have never had a shallot until I made this meal, but oh my goodness! they are amazing and are such a great pair with the potatoes.

Serves 4 - Prep time: 15 Minutes - Total Time: 1 hour

1 1/2 pounds small red new potatoes (10-12), halved and quartered

1 pound shallots, peeled and trimmed, halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper

1 1/2 pounds eye-of-round roast beef

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes and shallots with the oil, season with salt and pepper.



• Push the potatoes and shallots toward the edges of the baking sheet; place the roast in the center.  Turn the roast to coat with the oil on the pan and season generously with salt and pepper.

• Roast, tossing the potatoes and shallots occasionally. Cook for 40-50 minutes. Let the beef rest, loosley covered with foil, before slicing.  Serve with green beans.
