Portions for 5 servings:

Nutriments table

Pre-heat the oven up to 200°C.

Cook the potatoes in a steamer for 30mn then mash them with the milk and the butter. The broccoli will be cooked for 15mn in a steamer. In the meanwhile, cut the onions in small pieces and put them in an oven dish. Drizzle with the olive oil and cook for 10mn. Increase the heat to 225°C and remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the roast with salt and place it at the centre of the oven dish with the lard facing the dish. Cook for 10mn then reduce the heat to 200°C for 15mn. Finally, turn off your oven and leave the roast for another 10mn. At the end of cooking time, remove the roast from the oven and serve immediately. DO NOT leave the roast in the oven.

These cooking times are for a medium-rare meat at the centre of the roast.

Ask your butcher for a roast coming from an animal more than 5 years old. Let us know if he could provide it by contacting us through the links on the home page.
