Spiced Beef

Mix per 2kg beef

Preparation method

Mix the above ingredients. Rub it all over the beef. Leave for 12-24 hours covered in the fridge.

Cooking instructions

Place the beef in a roomy saucepan with enough cold water to cover.

Oven poach slowly in 140c (275F) Gas 1 for several hours (allow 1 hour per 500g) until very tender. Drain the joint – there should still be a nice spice crust on it. If not serving hot, put on a baking tray, cover with a board and press it under weight overnight – we use 4 or 5 tins of tomatoes. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Serve it cut into thin slices, with leafy salad and jacket potatoes or in sandwiches with chutney.
