I like to think that I could be a vegetarian but all thoughts are wiped out whenever we have a roast beef dinner. And after five years we think we have figured out our oven to produce a roast the only way we like it - rare. Even our kids who a couple years back disliked the taste of red meat now tuck heartily into the roast. Not only is rare/medium beef easier to chew and digest but the taste is all there compared to a well done roast.
Our roast is usually accompanied with steamed vegetables and steamed potatoes. And here's a tip for Bruneian households about potatoes (trust me my husband's Irish!). The only potatoes to have with a roast meal in Brunei are the American Russet variety. Do not go for new potatoes or the clean looking Australian variety - they are good for potato salads but not right for mash. Simply wash the russett potatoes, do NOT peel and steam in their skins. Peel when piping hot at the table and eat immediately.
