Course Main Course
Servings 9

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 KG Aberdeen Angus Dry Aged Silverside Joint
  • 2 Large onions
  • 8 Shallots
  • 1/2 Garlic bulb
  • 4 Bunch Rosemary

Dry Rub

  • 2 Tbsp Sea Salt
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Dried Onion Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Crushed Coriander Seeds
  • 1 Tbsp Dry Thyme
  • 1 Tbsp Potato Starch
  • 1/2 Tbsp Dried Mustard Powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Tsp Dried red pepper powder
  • 1 Tsp Dry Bay Leaves powder
  • 2 Tsp Dry Sage
  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

Beef Marination

  • 6 Black Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp American Mustard
  • 1 Tsp English Mustard
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 20 Grams Pickled Thyme
  • 1/2 lemon Juice
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • For this recipe you need to take out the beef, at least 1hr 30 minutes before you start roasting. Allowing the meat to come to room temperature will help produce a juicier and more evenly cooked meat.
  • pre-heat oven to 210°C.-220C.
  • Start by combining all your dry ingredients together to make the dry rub. Seasone generously the beef, making sure to rub every part of the meat, and that includes the top the bottom and the sides. Cover your baking tray with some baking paper ( this will make it easier to catch the beef juices to use for future recipes or make gravy as well as it will make it easier to clean your baking tray and prevent you from scratching it trying to clean any sticky marination stuck on the bottom. Especially when using honey, sugar or mustard in your marination they tent to caramelise and become hard to remove) add the garlic, chopped onions shallots and the Rosemary. Place your beef, top-side up on a rack on top of your baking tray.
  • Place the beef straight in and roast for 25 minutes.
  • In the meantime, start by mixing all the ingredients for your beef marination.
  • After 25 minutes, take out your beef. it should look brown and crispy. Reduce your oven temperature to 180°C. Brush your beef straight away with the beef marination, cover it with foil and continue roasting for further one hour and 10 minutes or until the meat thermometer reaches 60°C.
  • Take out the beef, uncover the foil. Set your oven to grill and increase the temperature to 200C. Place the beef back in the oven for an additional five minutes just to create this crispy and sticky top layer.
  • Remove from oven, then rest your beef for least three hours or ideally overnight if you’re planning on slicing it.
  • the meat should last for up to 1 month in the freezer and one week in the fridge and can be used in sandwiches or topping on a pizza and salads.
    Enjoy

Sweet pastry crust

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Resting time 1 hour
Course Dessert
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 226 grams Soft unsalted Butter
  • 160 grams Icing Sugar
  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla paste
  • 450 grams Plain Flour
  • 3 grams Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by mixing the soft butter and icing sugar on low speed until all combined.
    Combine the eggs and vanilla together and add it to the mix. It will look like scrambled eggs after mixing but don’t worry just trust the process.
     Sift the flour, and salt .
    Start by adding the ingredient gradually while mixing. 
    Mix until you achieve a soft dough. 
    Spray your surface with little oil and roll your dough into a flat rectangle shape instead of a bowl which will help you rolling it easier later on.
    Wrap it straight away and chill for 30 minutes before rolling .
    Once chilled roll your dough and place it in your tart case. Using a rolling pin,roll over the edge of the tart case which will help you get rid off all the remaing dough. I find using a rolling pin more neater then a knife.
    Push some of the dough above the edge of the tart case then crimp it to edge of the tin, this method is so useful if you don’t want your tart shell to shrink to much after baking.(watch the video for full instructions).
    Chill for another 30 minutes before baking.
    Blind bake for 15-20 min on 180C. Once you remove it from the oven carefully remove the baking beans, brush with eggs and place it back in the oven for another 5 minutes on 160C.
    Remove from oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before filling.
  • Note : 
    Always make sure you work with dough that is well chilled, but not rock hard. This makes the dough easier to handel and avoid the fat splitting and the dough from sticking to the bench or rolling pen.
    When dusting, never use too much flour it will change the ratio of your recipe. If the dough is rolled at the right temperature, you shouldn’t  need to much flour at all. 
    Always dust the flour from height.
    When rolling out the dough always work from the edge closest to you and only roll away from you and each time you roll the pastry turn it 90 degrees in the same direction.
    Don’t roll all the way over the ends of the dough until you have achieved the shape and size required.
    This pastry can be kept for up to 3 days in the fridge or 1 month in the freezer.
    To use the dough from frozen, allow to come back to refrigerator temperature overnight
