Start by preparing the marinade. Mix finely chopped or mashed garlic, mustard, honey, spices and a little oil in a bowl. Rub this mixture thoroughly on all sides of the meat so that it soaks up all the flavors well. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into larger pieces. Then salt and pepper them and spread them evenly in the baking pan. Place the marinated meat in the center and add some beer or water. This step helps tenderize the meat and enhances its flavor during cooking.
Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for about 40 minutes. Later, remove the foil and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes until the meat has a beautiful golden crust. After cooking, let the food rest for a few minutes so that the juices are distributed evenly before serving.
