Its the better half's birthday today and the request is for a nice roast beef dinner.
So its Roast beef with assorted roast veggies, steamed asparagus and Roast Potatoes done in duck fat
Dinner will be at 8:30-9:00 when the beloved gets home from her early evening flamenco gig (bass player)
Veggies are in the oven on low under foil (it is a **** oven and I will cook them through on lowish and ramp it up to cremation territory to brown just before serving)
Potatoes are cooking mostly through in their skins and will be peeled and halved then go in with the vegies in a little pot of duck fat when the oven gets turned up.
Beef is in my mash tun with the RIMS set to 55... its been there for an hour so far and will only come out about 10 minutes before serving (total of just under 3 hours) - when it will be patted dry and then it will be browned to a crust on a scarily hot cast iron grill pan for about 2mins tops just to get a bit of a crust going..... asparagus into steamer at about the same time as the beef hits the hotplate.
and it should all be perfect.
hopefully.........
If all else fails - desert is terrific Vanilla Slice from the French Lettuce patisserie in Carlton, washed down with a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. So it will finish on a high no matter how badly I screw up the main
