Ingredients
- 1.2 kg beef topside
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, whole
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- 2 medium carrots, cut into medium-sized chunks
- 1 green chilli, roughly chopped
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 1½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 500ml beef broth
- 4 large roasting potatoes, peeled and evenly chopped
- 50g unsalted butter
- 2 tsp sea salt flakes
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
Method
Step 1
Begin by preparing the beef topside. Let the beef joint come up to room temperature then rub the meat with 1 tbsp of olive oil and a little salt and pepper before setting aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 130ºC/110ºC fan/gas 1. Place a large casserole over a medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil followed by the onion and garlic and cook for 4 mins. Add the celery, carrots, green chilli, thyme, cumin and cinnamon and mix together well. Add the beef stock and bring to the boil for 2 mins then add the beef. Cover and place in the oven for 2 hrs, turning the meat over after 1 hr.
Step 3
While the beef cooks, add the potatoes to a pan of salted boiling water and boil for 7 mins or until the edges of the potatoes are slightly softened. Add the butter and vegetable oil to a roasting tray and place in the oven for 5 mins to get the oil hot.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake to fluff them up as this helps create a crispy roast potato. Add the potatoes to the roasting tray and brush with oil. Sprinkle over the salt flakes and smoked paprika and lightly mix the potatoes around the tray. Roast in the oven for 1 hr 15 mins until they are golden brown, turning them after 40 mins.
Step 5
Remove the beef from the casserole and leave to rest for 10 mins before slicing.
Step 6
Serve with the paprika roasted potatoes, vegetables of your choice and a generous drizzle of juices from the casserole.
