Roast Beef Rib Joint

Mains

Ingredients

  • Rib joint roast
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt Butter Rub:
  • 2 tbsp very soft unsalted vegan butter
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper

Method

  1. Place beef on a pan, and rub with salt. Place meat on a rack or twisted foil so air can circulate under roast, and transfer to the fridge for 24 to 48 hours.
  2. Remove from the refrigerator and let it rest for a few hours to come to room temperature.
  3. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  4. Transfer roast into a roasting pan, preferably on a rack.
  5. Mix vegan butter with coarse salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl and spread onto the sides and top of the roast. Then add more salt to the top. Pour water into the bottom of the pan.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven at 220°C for 20 minutes, then turn down to 170°C and cook for 15 minutes per 500g of meat for medium-rare.
  7. Roast until internal temperature is 115 to 120 degrees F (46 to 48 degrees C), about 1 hour and 20 minutes (about 20 minutes per pound). Remove from the oven, cover with foil and let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving. Final internal temp for medium-rare should be 50-60°C.
  8. Drippings from the pan can be deglazed with broth or water, and served alongside meat.
