Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
Halve the potatoes lengthways, quartering any larger pieces, and pop them onto a lined baking tray. Drizzle with dried thyme, oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the oil over the potatoes then lay them cut-side down on the baking tray. Roast on the top shelf of the oven until fork tender, 25-35 mins.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
Pop the carrots onto a large (lined) baking tray. Toss with the garlic, drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out in a single layer. Roast in the middle shelf, until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
Place a pot over medium heat and pour in the creme fraiche. Add the blue cheese and allow to melt and the sauce to warm through.
Add a splash of water, if required to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tip: Leave out the blue cheese from the sauce if you'd prefer.
Meanwhile, place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Once the oil is hot, fry the beef until browned, 1-2 mins each side for medium-rare. Cook for another 1-2 mins on each side if you like it medium and a further 1-2 mins on each side if you want it well-done. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned.
Once cooked, transfer to a board, cover and allow to rest and then slice.
Divide the roasted potatoes and carrots between plates. Serve the rump slices alongside and pour over the blue cheese sauce.
