Recipe: Peppered beef and roast veggies

August 28, 2016 by Shari Leave a Comment

After I blogged about Mr Moo’s birth story, I realised their were a few more recipes that some how never made it from Blogger to WordPress when I moved across. This is a cracker of a recipe for peppered beef and roast veggies that I cooked up whilst I was pregnant with Mr Moo and craving steak {well, I was craving a rare steak and a nice glass of red, but I settled for this instead}. 

What’s interesting, is that I was craving steak and I was low in iron. I was actually taking an extra iron supplement at the time as well as adaptogens. When I was pregnant with the Little Dude, I can’t remember craving steak and I never had an issue with my iron levels. This time around steak does jump off the menu when I am eating out – but I don’t have an issue with my iron levels/

I think it is interesting how pregnancies can be so similar and so different.

People are often asking me if I think this pregnancy is ‘different’, they ask because they wonder if I think I am having a girl. This pregnancy is a much of a muchness to my first two pregnancies. Does that mean that I am having a boy? Who knows, we will just have to wait and see – not too long to go now.

GoodFoodWeek's peppered beef and roast veggies

PEPPERED BEEF AND ROAST VEGGIES

500 grams of eye fillet
3 parsnips (peeled and quartered)
3 medium potatoes (cut into slices)
1 bunch of baby carrots (washed and tops removed)
1 handful of button mushrooms* (washed)
10 eschallots (French Shallots or tiny brown onions)
1 tablespoon of Fennel seeds
1 bunch of thyme
1 small tub of natural yoghurt
2 teaspoons of horseradish
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Season a baking dish with olive oil, salt and pepper. Heat the baking dish to a high heat on your stove top, before adding the beef and covering with fennel seeds and thyme. Brown the beef on all side before adding the veggies around the sides of the pan. Add a little extra olive oil, salt and pepper to the veggies before placing in a 180 degree fan force oven for approximately 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven, toss the veggies around and then cook for a further 10 minutes. Whilst the veggies are finishing – add the horseradish to the natural yoghurt and then season with salt and pepper.

Remove the beef from the pan and allow to stand for 10 minutes before carving.

*You can choose to add more mushrooms if the people you are cooking for enjoy mushrooms – seeing as I was the only one eating them, I decided to cook enough for me. The rest of the veggies and meat is enough to serve 4 people.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
