For The Prime Cuts Beef Topside Roast

• Marinate the beef with spices of your choice, making sure that it is well seasoned.
• Leave it in the fridge to absorb the marinade overnight. I like to use beef from @primecuts_kenya due to the high quality.
• Once you are satisfied with the time it has marinated, take it out of the fridge 1 hour before you cook so that it comes up to room temperature.

Next, get a pan on the stove and let it get very hot *almost smoking* then brown your meat on all sides.

Do not wash the pan as you will make the sauce in it.

• Cut up some onion, carrot and celery and place them on a baking tray.
• Place your seared beef on top of the cut vegetables and toss it in the oven.
• Forget about it for 2 hours/ depending on the doneness you require.

Rare- 1hr
Medium- 1 hr 25 min
Well done- 2 hrs

For the Potatoes:

Peel and cut up some potatoes into the shape you require.

Season with salt, black pepper and drizzle them with abit of olive oil.

Roast them in the oven until they are cooked through. You may add herbs to increase the depth of flavour.

For The Spicy Yoghurt

You will need: Plain yoghurt, Dhana Jeera, Paprika, Scallion leaves, salt and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients together and let it chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

For The Marina Sauce:

• In the same pan you used to sear your beef, add in a knob of butter.
• Next add in a heap tablespoon of flour and mix well. This is called a roux. Once your roux is brown, add in water. If you have beef stock, all well and good.
• Next, add in a knorr beef stock pot and stir.
• Add in herbs and black peppercorn seeds.
• Season well and let it reduce until it reaches a good consistency.

To Finish Your Dish:

1. Slice your Topside Beef very thinly and just drizzle your sauce on top.
2. Serve hot with your Roast Potatoes and Spicy yoghurt on the side.
