Roast Beef with Yukon Gold Potatoes

Sometimes the simple meals are the best. Normally I would have put this in a baking dish and cooked it in the oven. But, I happen to be out of aluminum foil at the moment. Well, actually, I've been out of it for a while, but keep forgetting to pick some up at the store! This recipe will work for any cut of roast. You can also substitute the potato of your choice or add other vegetables.
