Sweet Spiced Roast Beef
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 lightly packed cup (160g) brown sugar
1 ¼ cups (165g) sea salt
3 star anise
1 ½ tbs freshly grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, chopped
Grated zest of 2 lemons
2 long red chillies, seeds removed, sliced
½ cup (125ml) soy sauce
1 tbs sesame oil
1kg piece beef eye fillet (centre cut), trimmed
2 tbs olive oil
Good-quality chutney, to serve
Method
- Combine all ingredients, except beef and olive oil, in a shallow dish. Add beef and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and chill for at least 12 hours, turning the beef in the marinade 2-3 times.
- Bring the beef to room temperature and preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Rinse beef under cold water and pat dry. Heat oil in an ovenproof frypan over medium-high heat. Brown the beef for 2-3 minutes on all sides, then transfer to oven for 15 minutes for rare, or until cooked to your liking. Rest beef for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with chutney.
Tips
Begin this recipe a day ahead.
Always rest beef after cooking. This gives the meat juices a chance to redistribute, giving a more moist and tender result
