I was asked (by it appears someone who de-lurked- hello!) to post the recipe for my Monday roast. . . so here it is! There is a bit of a bite to it. So if you don’t do spicy. You won’t like it.
It was an organic top round roast. Rubbed salt and pepper on it then a mixture of ground cumin, chilli powder, cayenne pepper and minced garlic (fresh only please none of that jar abomination).
Let it sit in the fridge all day.
Pre-heat the oven to 150 C. I roasted until the meat thermometer said rare- Think it’s broken though as it wasn’t as pink as I would prefer. Think next time I would drop the temp slightly to do a slower roast. It took a couple of hours.
Set the meat aside with foil over it for 15, 20 minutes. Deglaze the pan with red wine and reduce. Add any juices from the meat.
Slice the meat as thinly as you can and serve with the red wine gravy.
Artichokes steam with minced garlic and olive oil drizzled over. If you bother to cut the tops off, squeeze lemon over so the don’t discolour.
Asparagus lightly steam then sauté (briefly!!) in a bit of olive oil with salt and fresh pepper.
Green salad
Easy breezy Cover-Girl.
