This dish makes a fabulous meal for entertaining and presents beautifully on a platter with the beef surrounded by the roasted browned potatoes and sprigs of fresh thyme. Totally comfort food, this roast comes out spoon tender, thus the name spoon roast. Having the potatoes roast at the same time cuts the cook time to just under an hour and a half, a veritable blip when cooking for 12 guests. Choose an easy green side like green beans or broccoli to steam and serve alongside the potatoes. A crisp salad of mixed greens and a light vinaigrette can start the meal and fill out the menu.
