Ingredients

For the salad: combine the cucumber, avocado,  cooked beetroot (sliced and cut into pretty shapes with a cookie cutter),  herbed Chevin cheese and apple or pear. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

For the roast beef, prepare the beef according to the package instructions and add a handful of lemon thyme for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Here are instructions on how to roast beef.

To make a sauce, just add a little red wine to the pan juices.
