For your interest: Monday Night's Gluten Free Comfort Food Dinner

Hello..

How are you? I wanted to tell you that this week was all about the comfort food. I am talking a lot of cheese ( I know I shouldn't have it) chips and dips and wings. All very yummy things. If you are in the mood, don't shy away from it. If you do, you will only want it more and that's never a good thing. Remember, everything in moderation.

Monday Night's Dinner: Roast Beef with Roasted Potato's and Carrots (Very Easy)

What to get:
1 3Lb Large Roast (preferably from a butcher who sells grass feed beef as it's naturally GF)
6 large Idaho potatoes
1 lb bag of carrots
Olive Oil
Natural Spread Butter
Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste


*Preheat the oven to 300*
*Place the roast in a large roasting pan. Make 6 good size incisions in the meat and put cloves of garlic inside for taste.
*Salt and pepper the roast liberally (Don't be afraid of the salt, it creates a very nice crust- you can also add garlic powder if you'd like)
*Wash, peel and quarter the potatoes and place around the meat
*Peed and cube carrots and also place in roasting pan
*Salt and pepper the potatoes and carrots
*Add just enough water to made the veggies moist
*Keep checking the veggies so they don't burn and stick to the roasting pan
*The meat should be cooked 20 minuets for every pound of meat. (Depending on the size should take up to 2 hours. Have handy a meat thermometer. When it's done, it should be at 160*)

After it's done, let the meat rest for up to 10-15 minuets to let the juices reincorporate.

Slice the meat and lay on the plate and add potatoes and veggies. A nice garnish would be chives to add a little green and flavor.

This is a ONE POT DISH!!

Enjoy it and please let me know how it goes. Happy Gluten Free eating!
