ROAST BEEF WITH SHALLOTS AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes and shallots with the oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Push the potatoes and shallots toward the edges of the baking sheet; place the roast in the center. Turn the roast to coat with the oil on the pan and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Roast, tossing the potatoes and shallots occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the beef registers 130°F (for medium-rare), 40 to 50 minutes. Let the beef rest, loosely covered with aluminum foil, before slicing and serving with the potatoes and shallots.
• Lemon-thyme green beans
• In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, bring 1/2 inch water to a boil; salt generously.
• Add the green beans; reduce to a simmer, and cover the skillet. Steam the beans, tossing occasionally, until crisptender, 6 to 10 minutes.
• Pull the lid back slightly, and tilt the skillet to drain the water from the green beans; add the lemon juice, butter, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to melt butter. Serve the green beans garnished with additional thyme, if desired.
