Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef:
- 2 lbs beef (sirloin or flank steak)
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
For the Potatoes:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and salt. Add the beef and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight to enhance the flavors.
- Prepare Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place halved baby potatoes in a bowl and toss them with olive oil, dried rosemary or thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Combine and Roast: Spread the marinated beef evenly on a baking sheet. Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the beef. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the beef rest for 5-10 minutes to preserve juiciness. Slice the beef thinly and serve alongside the roasted potatoes, drizzling with any remaining roasting juices for extra flavor.
Notes
- Marinating the beef overnight intensifies the flavor and works to tenderize the meat.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling potatoes or any small roasting potatoes.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
- Letting the beef rest after roasting ensures it remains juicy and tender upon slicing.
- Use fresh herbs instead of dried if available for a more vibrant flavor.
