Cooking the beef in the oven:
Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before using it.
Sprinkle the beef roast generously with salt and pepper.
Warm the olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides by cooking it until it has a golden color.
Put the crushed garlic and chopped rosemary on top of the meat.
Put the meat in a baking dish and cook in the oven until it is cooked the way you like. (For a medium-rare doneness, cook until the inside reaches 135°F (57°C); for a medium doneness, aim for 145°F (63°C).)
Making the Fondant Potatoes:
Heat a big oven-safe pan on medium-high heat and melt the butter.
Put the potato pieces in the pan and cook them on both sides until they turn golden brown.
Put the thyme branches in and add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the broth to the skillet and put it in the oven. Cook in the oven for around 30 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and have soaked up the tasty liquid.
Resting and Helping:
Let the cooked beef sit for 15 minutes before cutting it to keep it juicy.
Serve the mashed potatoes next to the well-cooked beef slices.
