Grass-fed, top-quality beef is best for this dish. You can use rump as well and adjust the cooking time. A wonderful Sunday night favourite for all year round.
Ingredients
1.3kg rib-eye beef
100mL Pukara Estate Pepper Flavoured Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 onion, cut into wedges
1 red capsicum, deseeded and diced
4 garlic cloves, kept whole in skins
Coarsely ground black pepper
3 King Edward potatoes, quartered
1 tsp Pukara Estate Pepper and Olive Smoked Salt
Method
Preheat oven to 170°C.
Place the beef on a plate and coat with 50mL Pepper Oil. Cover with freshly ground pepper and leave aside for 20 minutes.
In a heavy baking dish, lay the onion, capsicum, garlic, and potatoes evenly and season well.
Heat a fry pan over high heat and sear the beef on all sides. Place the beef on the vegetables, season, and drizzle with the rest of the Pepper Oil and a generous sprinkle of Pepper and Olive Smoked Salt. Cover with foil and roast for 40 minutes.
Remove foil and turn the beef. Increase oven temperature to 190°C. Leave uncovered and roast for a further 10-15 minutes until just crisp.
Rest meat for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with your favourite greens.
