Sick of complicated recipes in these threads? Search no more! Here is one easy recipe for all ye lazy bastages out there. Enjoy!!! (The recipe is for 2 people)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 portion rosemary-roasted cubed potatoes
  • 3 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Small bunch of fresh rosemary, tied at the base to make a small brush
  • Olive oil
  • 1 x 2lb 11oz rib of beef, french trimmed (It'll be about the thickness of the rib bone)
  • Peppery extra virgin olive oil
DIRECTIONS

  1. Put the garlic, lemon zest and the tip of the rosemary brush in a mortar, add a glug of olive oil and bash together. Use the rosemary brush to rub half the marinade over the rib steak and leave to marinade for, at least, 1 hr.
  2. Preheat oven at 425° F and get the potatoes (recipe to come) parboiled andin the oven. Meanwhile, heat an oven-proof griddle pan until white-hot and season the steak generously. Put itin the pan and fry for a couple of minutes before turning it over and putting the pan in the oven (~20 min. for medium). Every 5 minutes turn the steak over and baste with the remaining marinade using the rosemary brush. When done, squeeze some lemon juice, drizzle with the peppery olive oil and serve with the 'tatoes.

It's from the onion, garlic, chives,... family. Imagine apurple onion with the shape of a garlic (though taste-wise...ye'll need to try one)
