Roast Beef with Fresh Herbs!

Don't you think my kitchen rules?

Freshly picked herbs from my garden

    Do you like cooking with fresh herbs?  I have been reaping the benefits of growing my own herbs for more than a year now. I have managed to grow basil, oregano, sage, parsley, mint, spring onions, garlic and lemon grass with minimal care.  I can have fresh herbs whenever I want to or whenever I need them in my dishes.  One of the dishes that I cook regularly with fresh herbs is the roast (chicken, beef or lamb) and I am happy to share with you my family's favorite roast beef recipe. Cooking with fresh herbs from my own garden means no more boring dinners for the Knight family :)

Roast Beef With Fresh Herbs

Ingredients:

1 kg beef roast

1 tablespoon garlic salt

1 tbsp of mixed fresh herbs (parsley, basil, sage, spring onions)

1 tablespoon  vegetable oil

a pinch of pepper

Method: 

Heat oven to 150C.  Rub the roast with oil, garlic salt, fresh herbs and pepper.  Arrange roast in a roasting pan, place it in the oven and roast it for 2 hours and 15 minutes.  Let the roast rest by placing it on the carving board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it stand for 15 minutes. Serve with salad and mash potato.
