Roast Topside with Marmalade Glaze
Tender roast topside of beef is enhanced with a delicious marmalade glaze that adds a subtle citrus sweetness to every slice. Easy to prepare and full of flavour, it's an ideal centrepiece for any roast dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 x 1.3kg lean beef topside, boneless rib or sirloin joint
- 2 teaspoons English mustard powder
- 3 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut into slivers
- 8 tablespoons Seville orange marmalade
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180-190°C, 160-170°C Fan, Gas Mark 4-5.
- Place the topside joint on a chopping board, make several slits over the joint and season and rub with the mustard. Push the garlic slivers into the slits.
- Place the joint on a metal rack in a large roasting tin and open roast for the preferred, calculated cooking time, basting occasionally with any rich beefy juices.
- In a small bowl, mix together the marmalade, orange juice and parsley. Divide the mixture between two separate bowls.
- 20-25 minutes before the end of the cooking time remove the joint and brush with the marmalade mixture from one of the bowls to glaze and return to the oven.
- Serve the beef with roasted, new potatoes, parsnips, seasonal green vegetables, gravy and the untouched glaze from the second bowl.
