Method

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the beef 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 stock, stirring constantly until thickened.
Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
Steam 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.
