Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 160°C (140°C fan/Gas Mark 3).
2.
Rub the Jersey beef joint with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and place in a roasting pan.
3.
Roast the beef for approximately 20 minutes per 500g for medium-rare, adding 10 minutes for medium and 20 minutes for well-done. Use a meat thermometer for best results - aim for 55°C for rare, 60°C for medium-rare, 65°C for medium, and 70°C for well-done. Rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. Increase oven temperature to 200C for the last 15 mins to brown the beef.
4.
While the beef is roasting, prepare the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, toss the Jersey Royal potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and swede with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, crushed garlic, thyme sprigs, salt, and pepper.
5.
In a separate small bowl, combine the Jersey honey with 1 tablespoon of water to create a glaze.
6.
About 45 minutes before the beef is due to be finished, add the vegetables to the roasting pan around the beef. Drizzle the honey glaze over the vegetables.
7.
Continue roasting, turning the vegetables occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
8.
Once the beef is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. Cover loosely with foil.
9.
While the beef is resting, remove the vegetables from the roasting pan and keep warm.
10.
To make gravy (optional): Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Deglaze the pan with the beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for a few minutes until the gravy thickens slightly. Whisk in a knob of Jersey butter for extra richness.
11.
Carve the Jersey beef and serve with the honey-glazed root vegetables and gravy (if using).

Chef's Tips

For extra flavour, sear the beef in a hot pan before roasting.

Add other root vegetables like celeriac or beetroot to the mix.

Serve with a dollop of Jersey cream for added indulgence.

Use the leftover roasted beef for sandwiches or salads the next day.

If Jersey Royal potatoes are out of season, use another variety of new potato.

"This starter offers a light and refreshing contrast to the rich beef and root vegetables. The sweetness of the Jersey apple and delicate crab meat complements the honey glaze, while the hazelnut vinaigrette provides a nutty depth that echoes the earthiness of the root vegetables without being too heavy. Its fresh, clean flavors awaken the palate before the main course."

Dessert

A comforting apple crumble featuring Jersey Black Butter, perfect after a hearty meal.

Easy

"The Black Butter (a Jersey apple preserve) provides a uniquely Jersey flavor profile that ties directly to the meal's theme. The warm, comforting crumble texture contrasts nicely with the tender beef, and the slight tartness of the Black Butter cuts through the richness of the main course, while the clotted cream offers a luxurious finish and links to the island's dairy heritage."
