Ingredients
- 1 x 400-450g lean beef mini roasting joint (we used a mini topside joint)
- 1-2 tablespoons prepared steak spice rub mix (available in the spice aisles of larger supermarkets)
- 2 teaspoons rapeseed or sunflower oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C,170°C Fan, Gas Mark 5.
- In a small bowl mix together the steak rub mix and the oil.
- Place the joint on a chopping board, make several slashes over the surface of the joint, season and brush with the flavoured oil on both sides. Transfer to a roasting rack in a medium non-stick roasting tin and roast for 40-50 minutes (for medium). Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Remove the joint from the oven, transfer to a warm plate, cover and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes, 20 if time allows.
- Slice the roast and serve with mixed vegetable rice.
