I'm not sure if I've posted this one slick. I didn't use an expensive cut and I just combined all the ingredients, and smothered the beef with it. The spicy mango glaze is basically some really good chutney mixed with a bit of olive oil. Just lay it over the top of the beef after you have put on the marinade. It can be BBQ'd, but requires constant attention, so sometimes I just put it in an oven bag, and place in oven on a low heat. It takes a lot longer, but the beef comes out moist and flavoursome and just melts in your mouth.A lot of the time I just look in the pantry and fridge to see what I have, and use what I find to flavour the meat.
Here's a recipie for using a cut of beef in an oven bag. I did this at a dinner party, and it went over real well.
Trev’s Bacon Wrapped Roast Beef
1 X roasting beef, (big slab of rump works great)
3 tb Dijon mustard
½ ts thyme leaves, dried
½ ts cracked pepper
6 sl bacon
1 med onion, sliced
1 x large oven bag
Directions:
1) Pre heat oven to a low heat
2) Cut slits in the top of the roast to allow bacon drippings to penetrate. (Cross hatch works well)
3) Spread mustard evenly over the entire roast
4) Sprinkle thyme leaves and cracked pepper over the top of the roast
5) Scatter some onion over roast
6) Wrap roast tightly with bacon slices (toothpicks or string will work)
7) Prepare oven bag
8) Place roast inside oven bag with the rest of the onion and place on oven dish and place in oven (2kg roast cook for 4hrs approx at about 150C depending on oven)
9) When roast is cooked remove from bag & set aside covering with foil
10) Use juices from the bag to make gravy
