Beef Mini Roast with a Chutney and Coriander Glaze

This quick cook mini roast is glazed with coriander and chutney and is perfect for mid-week dining

The Sunday roast is a British institution, and when I was growing up, it would be a rare Sunday when we did not have a roast lunch, with leftovers being used, in various guises, for the following few days.

Nowadays things have changed and fewer families sit down for a roast on Sunday.  Ed and I certainly eat fewer roasts, which is a shame, as I miss the Sunday roast. Well happily there is a new roast in town – the mini roast which is perfect for a week night supper.

A mini roast will cook in around 40 minutes meaning that supper can be on the table in an hour, which is ideal for for two to share after work on a week night.  Smaller joints are less of an investment for trying out new recipes, and also there are no leftovers – ideal if you are often away, or do not eat at home all the time.   The mini roast is adaptable and other ideas for cooking one include a teriyaki beef with noodles or lamb with a delicious pistachio crust.

I choose to make Simply Beef & Lamb’s chutney and coriander glazed beef mini roast; the meat is covered with crushed coriander seed and pepper, roasted on a bed of onions, then covered with a glaze of fruity chutney and coriander.    It was delicious, an excellent use of one of those half eaten pots of chutney in the fridge.    I can see that this recipe will come out again and again, with different herbs, chutneys and even meats.

To be sure you are buying farm assured quality meat look out for the Red Tractor logo on the packets in the supermarket.  Both beef and lamb carrying the log can be traced back to the farm it came from, and carries assurance that standards covering hygiene, safety, environmental protection and animal welfare  are all met.
