Pumpkin Spice Roast Beef with Warm Beets

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the spices. Reserve 1/2 tsp of the mixture for the garnish. Rub the roast with the remaining spices.

3. 3

   On the prepared baking sheet, toss the potatoes with half of the oil (2 tbsp/30 ml). Spread the potatoes on the sheet, cut side down.

4. 4

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the roast on all sides in the remaining oil (2 tbsp/30 ml). Season with salt and pepper. Place the roast in the centre of the baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake for about 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the centre of the roast reads 118°F (48°C) for rare doneness. Remove the roast and transfer to a plate. Let rest for 10 minutes. Continue cooking the potatoes in the oven, if needed, until golden brown and tender.
