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, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt until well combined. Add the beef into the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, dried rosemary or thyme, salt, and pepper until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Combine and Roast: Arrange the marinated beef on a large baking sheet. Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly around the beef. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, making sure to stir or turn the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Rest and Serve: After roasting, remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice the beef against the grain and serve alongside the roasted potatoes, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top for added flavor.
Notes
- Marinating the beef overnight intensifies the flavors and tenderizes the meat.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness; beef is best at medium-rare to medium (135°F to 145°F internal temperature).
- If using larger potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Rosemary and thyme can be used interchangeably depending on your herb preference.
- Letting the beef rest before slicing keeps it juicy and tender.
