• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Trim green beans. Thinly slice carrot into sticks. Slice leek into 1cm thick rounds. • Place beef rump between two sheets of baking paper. Pound beef with a meat mallet or rolling pin until slightly flattened. Season beef with salt and pepper.
• Drain the potatoes well then transfer to a lined oven tray. • Season generously with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Tossing and roughing the edges helps the potatoes get crisp edges while roasting!
