Slowly oven roasted rump of beef with quinoa rice

Posted by Gary

Slowly oven roasted rump of beef with quinoa rice along with potato, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and onion served with horseradish. It sounds like a mouthful but oh what a delicious mouthful.

Last night I slowly roasted a butterflied leg of lamb and tonight I wanted some beef. The good thing is all the leftovers will be eaten for lunches at work. I may spend a lot of money on meat but I like to make it last.
