Ingredients
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 0.5-1 tsp chipotle powder
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1.5 kg (3.3lb) roasting joint topside is a good choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to highest setting.
- Combine all the ingredients from paprika to oil and mix into a paste
- Add beef to a roasting tray, and rub chocolate spiced paste all over
- Add beef to preheated oven.
- Reduce oven to fan assisted 210C / 230C / 450 F / gas 8 and roast for 20 mins.
- Then turn down to fan assisted 160C / 180C / 350F / gas 4 (if you open the oven door for a few seconds it cools faster).
- Cook for about 10 minutes per 500g/1.1lb if you want it rare.
- Check with your thermometer when it should be done. It will be about 50C / 122F in the middle (rare), 60C / 140F (medium) and 70C /158F (well done). A few degrees each side doesn’t matter.
- Take out of oven and leave in a warm place to rest.
Notes
- Use a quality meat thermometer to test the temperature.
