    Mustard-roasted beef

    Ingredients

    • 10ml (2 tsp) mustard seeds
    • 5ml (1 tsp) sea salt flakes
    • 5ml (1 tsp) freshly ground black pepper
    • 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh thyme leaves
    • 60ml (¼ cup) olive oil, plus 15ml (1 tbsp) extra
    • 1,5kg boneless beef rib eye

    Instructions

    1

    Preheat the oven to 120°C.

    2

    Place the mustard seeds, salt, pepper and thyme in a mortar and pestle and pound until lightly crushed. Add the oil and pound until combined. Set aside.

    3

    Brush the beef with the extra oil. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over high heat and cook the beef until brown, about 1 – 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan.

    4

    Secure with kitchen string and rub the mustard mixture over the beef. Place on a rack in a baking dish and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes, for medium-rare.

    Notes

    Cook's tip: After roasting, cover the meat with foil and rest in a warm place for at least 10 minutes to allow the meat to relax.
