Ingredients 

1.5kg topside of Scotch Beef PGI

2 tbsp clear honey

Small bunch fresh thyme

Pinch sea salt and black pepper

500ml dry red wine

2 tsp Scottish rapeseed oil

2 small shallots, peeled and finely chopped

300ml reduced salt beef stock

2 tbsp redcurrant jelly

Cooking Method

How it's done:

  • Remove the beef from the fridge one hour before cooking. Wash, pat dry and place on a chopping board. Trim away some of the fat, leaving a thin layer on top.

    1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan oven/gas 7 and transfer the meat to a small roasting tin.

    2
  • Put half the honey into a small bowl. Strip the leaves from a few stalks of thyme to make up 1 tsp. Mix into the honey along with a pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Mix well and spread all over the top of the beef.

    3
  • Pour half the wine into the roasting tin (not over the beef) and bake for 30 minutes. Spoon the cooking juices over the beef, reduce the oven temperature to 180°C/160°C fan oven/gas 4, and put the beef back into the oven for about 35 minutes for medium rare (55°C on a meat thermometer). If you prefer your beef thoroughly cooked (70°C internal temperature), cook for 10-15 minutes longer.

    4
  • While the beef is cooking, heat the oil in a saucepan and gently fry the shallots for 6-7 minutes until softened. Leave to the side.

    5
  • Remove the beef from the roasting tin, reserving the pan juices, and place onto a carving board. Cover with foil and leave to rest in a warm place.

    6
  • Remove any fat from the pan juices and add to the saucepan with the shallots. Add the remaining honey and wine, then add the stock and jelly. Heat gently, stirring until the jelly dissolves, then raise the heat and boil rapidly for 10-15 minutes until reduced by half (approx. 300ml) and slightly syrupy. The time it takes to reduce down will depend on the size of saucepan you use.

    7
  • Strain the mixture through a sieve; cover and keep warm.

    8
  • Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, blend 1tsp of cornflour with 2 tsp cold water and whisk into the hot, reduced liquid. Cook, stirring until the mixture boils, then simmer for 1 minute until lightly thickened.
