4.6 from 140 reviews

A deliciously balanced meal featuring tender honey-marinated beef paired with aromatic roasted baby potatoes, offering a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
