Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds small red new potatoes (10 to 12), well scrubbed, halved or quartered if large

1 pound shallots (8 to 10), peeled, ends trimmed, and halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons olive oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 1/2 pounds eye-of-round beef roast, tied

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes and shallots with oil; season with salt and pepper.

Push vegetables to edges of baking sheet; place roast in the center. Turn roast to coat with oil on pan, and season generously with salt and pepper.

Roast, tossing potatoes and shallots occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 130 degrees; for medium-rare, 40 to 50 minutes. Let beef rest 10 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil, before slicing and serving with potatoes and shallots.
