IRISH PORK ROAST WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Rub pork with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the pork, fat-side up, on top of the vegetables.

• Slice the pork and serve with the vegetables, sauce and chutney (or applesauce), if desired.

AN IRISH SUNDAY ROAST .

Steps:

• 1. preheat the oven to 180c/350f. Get a good size casserole dish that your roast will fit into . The roast I always buy is salmon cut of beef , it's pure lean meat ,maybe with a little fat on the top ,but when cooked it just crisps up on top. place a sheet of tin foil over your casserole dish and place the beef on to that, season the beef with plenty of salt and pepper . place into the oven , and forget about it now after the first hour bring out of the oven and collect the juices from the meat ,just pour into a wee bowl . With a spoon scoop and dollop of butter on to the meat and spread over the top ,this will keep the meat tender . put the roast back in the oven to cook for an other hour . We like our roast well done ,if you prefer the meat a little pinker just put back in the over for half an hour..
• 2. Over medium heat , put the juices from the meat into a small pot .Add to that about 1 & 1/2 cups of water , bring to the boil and stir in about 1/4 cup of Bisto it is a ready made gravy mix ,keep stirring until the gravy thickens up .
• 3. Once the gravy has thicken ,turn the heat down to very low and put the lid on the pot.
• 4. Once the roast is done ,take out of oven any juice still remaining just pour into the gravy and mix well with a wooden spoon . Start to carve the roast beef and serve with Yorkshire pudding veg and potatoes and a heavy serving of the delicious roast beef gravy ..and enjoy !!
