Beef Rib Roast with Spiced Salt

Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
½ cup (60g) sea salt flakes
¼ teaspoon mixed spice
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3kg beef standing rib roast (about 4 ribs)
1 tablespoon olive oil
garlic mayonnaise (see note)
1 cup (300g) whole egg mayonnaise
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
2. Using a mortar and pestle, grind the seeds together until coarsely crushed. Add salt, mixed spice and pepper; mix well. Remove a third of the spice mixture and reserve. Brush beef with oil, rub remaining spice mixture all over beef.
3. Roast beef, uncovered, for about 1½ hours for rare, or until cooked as desired. Cover; stand for 15 minutes before carving.
4. Meanwhile, place reserved spice mix in a small dry frying pan. Cook, stirring over low heat for about 1 minute or until fragrant; cool.
5. Garlic mayonnaise: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Serve beef with Garlic Mayonnaise and toasted spice mixture.

Tips

 Always rest beef after cooking. This gives the meat juices a chance to redistribute, giving a more moist and tender result
