The butcher van had some good looking beef blade roast so I got a small one of those - which I covered sprinkled with salt and pepper (and large quantities of rosemary and thyme that were provided by an anonymous donor). I then fried the meat on both sides then put it in the oven for about an hour and a half. While it the meat was resting I mixed some packet gravy with the meat juices (yep, I'm lazy).
Instead of making a super-fine duxelld (as I have in the past) I made a chunkier version with diced mushrooms, spring onion and more thyme fried in butter then topped with feta. I also got some little aubergines at the market which I just oven baked in oil with some salt, pepper and cumin.
It was all not too bad - I thought the meat was a bit gristly. I'm not sure why the photo turned out like it was taken in the 1950's...

Brown on brown on brown. All very tasty. The eggplants were surprisingly good, mushrooms always a winner, meat - my favourite.
There was an amazingly crispy bit of roast end leftover that G wouldn't let me have for dessert. I hope that means we're having roast beef rolls in our near future.
