Steps

  • Simmer mustard seeds, sugar, honey, and 45ml water, then stir in vinegar and soak for 4 hours.
  • Blend seeds with bourbon until creamy but grainy, season, and chill.
  • Whisk flour, eggs, and milk into a smooth batter and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Sear the beef in hot oil until browned, coat with mustard, and roast for 1.5 hours.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water for 1 minute, drain, and shake to roughen edges.
  • Fry potatoes in hot lard or dripping until golden-brown.
  • Begin roasting the potatoes 30 minutes before the beef finishes.
  • Remove beef from the oven and let it rest for 30 minutes under foil.
  • Increase oven to 220°C and roast potatoes for 25 more minutes until crisp.
  • Reduce beef stock by half in the roasting tray to create a thick gravy.
  • Heat fat in muffin trays for 10 minutes until smoking hot.
  • Pour batter into muffin trays and bake at 220°C for 20 minutes without opening the door.
  • Reduce temperature to 190°C and bake for 13 more minutes until risen.
  • Carve the beef and serve with gravy, mustard, potatoes, and steamed vegetables.
