Provided by Roger Mooking

Time 2h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup balsamic vinegar
5 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup olive oil
1 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) beef eye round
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons potato water, reserved
Salt
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons fresh marjoram leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (8 to 10-ounce) wheel Camembert cheese, cut in half through the center (horizontally)
2 tablespoons herb oil from Baked Camembert and Herb Oil recipe
1 teaspoon butter
1 pound crimini mushrooms, quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the balsamic marinated roast beef: Put the balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic and black pepper in a small saute pan over medium to high heat and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the chopped rosemary and olive oil, and allow the mixture to cool.
  • Put the marinade in a baking pan, put the beef in the pan and coat with hands. Put in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, maximum 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator. Put the beef in the oven and roast for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, until cooked to medium-rare and an instant thermometer inserted in the center of the roast has an internal temperature between 130 and 140 degrees F.
  • Remove the beef from the oven and allow the beef to rest before slicing.
  • For the mashed potatoes: Cook the potatoes in enough heavily salted water to cover, until tender. Drain the potatoes, reserving 3 tablespoons of the water. Put the potatoes back into the hot pot and using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes or mash.
  • Put the butter, olive oil, and reserved potato water in the pot with the potatoes. Season the potatoes with salt. Gently fold the ingredients together until incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  • For the baked camembert and herb oil: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking dish or oven-proof saute pan with parchment paper.
  • Put the thyme, marjoram, rosemary, black pepper, and olive oil in a bowl and mix to incorporate.
  • Put the bottom half of the Camembert on parchment paper. Spoon 1 tablespoon herb oil in the center of Camembert, place the top half on top and pour 1 tablespoon herb oil over top. Place the Camembert in the oven until the cheese has melted, approximately 10 minutes.
  • For the sauteed mushrooms: Put the remaining herb oil and butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Put the mushrooms in the hot pan and saute until slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper, and then remove from the heat.
  • To assemble: To serve, place the roast beef and mashed potatoes on a warm plate and spoon the sauteed mushrooms and baked Camembert over the meat and potatoes.

Great cheesy potatoes

Provided by barbara lentz

Categories     Potatoes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/4 lb potatoes peeled
2 Tbsp butter
4 oz boursin garlic and herb cheese at room temp
salt & pepper
cream or milk if needed

Steps:

  • 2. Rewarm if needed

Tips:

  • For a smoother texture, use russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, as they are starchy and will mash easily.
  • To prevent the potatoes from getting watery, drain them well after boiling and mash them while they are still hot.
  • Add butter, milk, and cream to the potatoes while they are hot to help them absorb the liquid and create a creamy texture.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • For a more flavorful dish, add herbs such as chives, parsley, rosemary, or thyme to the mashed potatoes.
  • To make the mashed potatoes ahead of time, prepare them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the mashed potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the mashed potatoes in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
