3. Cut the extra fat, mix.with fresh rosemary, a tsp. of fresh salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper and scrub the joint with your hands all over
4. Put the meat in a hot oven (200°C) for an hour, then turn down to 120°C and leave for another half hour
5. During the last half hour get your veg ready - peel and boil potatoes for 20 mins, strain. Cut beans and broccoli into bite size pieces.
6. Put water in the bottom pan and stack the steamers on top. Boil for just 5 minutes then drain the water into the gravy pan
7. And put that on a moderate heat with the onion, bay leaf and garlic. Once bubbling put heat at minimum
8. Take the meat out
9. Put the tasty bits from the tray into the gravy pan
10. Pour the juices into a bowl
11. and put the joint in a serving dish. Cover and leave to rest while you see to the trimmings
12. Carefully spoon the fat from the top of the juices into the beef roasting tin. Spread around, add the boiled potatoes, stir around a bit more, and put in the oven for 10 minutes at 22°
13. Pour the remaining juices 8nto the gravy
14. And add the water from the steaming pan too. Bring to boil and add the gravy granules and 1 teaspoon of corn flour diluted in a little bit of red wine
15. Heat two serving dishes by boiling a kettle and pouring hot water in both. Pour the water down the sink, dry and put veg in one dish
16. And the potatoes in the other one
17. Turn off the oven and put veg and potatoes in to keep warm while you carve the beef. Drain the gravy through a seive and pour a little over the meat. Put the rest in a jug. Enjoy with the rest of that bottle of red wine you uncorked hours ago!!!
