Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the beef roast with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
Roast the beef for 25-30 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
Meanwhile, peel and cut potatoes into cubes, toss with oil and salt, and roast for 30-40 minutes until golden.
In a saucepan, melt butter, add flour, and stir to make a roux.
Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly until thickened.
Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
Prepare Yorkshire pudding by mixing flour, eggs, milk, and cream, then pour into a preheated pan and bake until puffed and golden.
Steam or blanch green beans until tender, then season with salt and pepper.
For whole cuts, check a minimum internal temperature of 63°C (145°F), then rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
