METHOD
Roast beef
- Preheat the oven on Fan Plus at 200°C.
- Wrap the rib bones tightly in foil.
- Place the rosemary, garlic and olive oil into a mortar and pestle, crush until a paste is formed.
- Rub the garlic paste over the beef and place on a grilling and roasting insert in a universal tray.
- Place the tray on shelf level 2, insert the Food probe into the thickest part of the meat and change the function to Moisture Plus + Auto Roast at 200°C + Food probe temperature 48°C with 2 manual bursts of steam, releasing the first burst of steam after 1 minute and the second burst after 10 minutes.
- Set a minute minder for 40 minutes, brush the beef with the mustard and return to the oven.
- When the internal temperature has reached 48°C, remove from the oven and rest in the warming drawer on. Keep warm setting 2 while making the gravy.
Pan juice gravy
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat, induction setting 6. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add half of the boiling water to the universal tray used to cook the beef and, using a spatula, carefully lift all the stuck pieces of roast off the tray.
- Strain your pan juices from your roast through a fine mesh sieve into the saucepan with the cooked vegetables.
- Add your beef stock to the saucepan and place on medium-high heat, induction setting 7, until boiling.
- Combine the corn starch with the remaining boiling water until a smooth paste is created.
- Once the gravy is boiling, slowly add the “slurry” and whisk until gravy is thickened to your liking. Season to taste.
- Cook the gravy for a further 10 minutes on medium heat, induction setting 6, before straining into large gravy boat.
- Mix through the parsley and serve.
