Recipe: Honey and Mustard Rib of Beef

HONEY AND MUSTARD RIB OF BEEF

1.5 kg (3 lb 4 oz) rib of beef on the bone
1 tbsp mustard seed
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp runny honey
1 packet mix for classic roast beef gravy
Sea salt and black pepper

Place the meat on the grill and cook for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the Mustard Seeds, Dijon mustard and honey. Season well.

Remove the joint from the grill and spread half the mustard mixture over the meat. Cook the meat uncovered for 30 minutes.

Remove the joint from the grill and spoon over the remaining mustard mixture and baste with the cooking juices. Cook for a further 15-30 minutes.

For rare beef, reduce this cooking time to 45 minutes. For medium cooked beef, cook for 1 hour. For well done beef, increase the cooking time to 1 hour 15 minutes.

Remove the cooked joint from the grill and cover with foil and a clean cloth and leave to stand for 15 minutes before carving.

Make up the Gravy Mix following packet instructions and serve with the beef.
