Roast Scotch Beef With a Honey Mustard Crust

5 stars rating if you like it!

Done

This prime cut is covered with a lavish layer of golden honey and grain mustard before baking; giving the beef a sweet and tangy crusty outer layer. To add a touch of luxury, accompany your roast beef with a creamy fresh peppercorn sauce and serve it with some of your favourite seasonal vegetables (tossed in a little bit butter if you like). This is a good one for guests and much of the ingredients can be prepared in advance.

Final Notes

Make sure to remove any remaining membrane (silverskin) from the counterpart of your rib before cooking. Otherwise it can prevent the seasonings penetrating the meat and also leaves an unpleasant leathery skin on the rib after cooking.
