Method
This dish is a different take on the classic roast dinner. The rump of beef is full of character and flavour.
METHOD
- In a bowl squeeze out all the roasted garlic and add the Bovril, a good pinch of smoked sea salt, the peppercorns, thyme and chopped parsley
- Rub the mixture all over the rump of beef and massage into the meat. Leave to stand for 1 hour to marinade a little, then place into a vacuum pouch and seal
- Cook in a preheated water bath at 55 degrees for 3 hours 30 mins
- Either chill down or use straight away
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
- Peel all the vegetables and cut all to a similar size. Put them in a large bowl and sprinkle generously with olive oil, honey a little garlic and the herbs. Season with salt and pepper
- Spread in a single layer in a roasting dish and roast for 10-15 minutes until caramelized and soft
- In a small saucepan gently sauté the chopped shallots and a crushed clove of garlic in a little olive oil until translucent
- Add the two mustards at this point and fry for a further minute
- Deglaze the pan with the brandy and flame
- Add the dark chicken stock and reduce by half, add the cream and cook out until thickened
- Add a squeeze of lemon to the sauce and adjust the seasoning
- To serve, take the rump of beef out of the pouch and heavily caramelize in a hot pan with oil paying special attention to the fat (It is important to crisp up the fat)
- When done slice onto plates and serve with the roasted vegetables and the mustard sauce
Chef’s Tip
The rump of beef is the king of roasting joints, for an eastern style finish why not add some Thai red curry paste to the pouch for a pungent spicy finish
