A tender beef shoulder roast with a Stilton crust, served with blanched green beans, crispy croutons, and a fresh mint garnish for a delicious and flavourful dish.
Ingredients
- 1.5kg beef shoulder (approximately)
Stilton Crust Ingredients:
- 75g butter, softened
- 99g Stilton blue cheese
- 100g breadcrumbs
Green Bean Ingredients:
- 226g green beans
- Day-old bread for croutons
- Butter
- Oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 5ml red wine vinegar
- Fresh mint leaves
Method
Prepare the roast: Preheat the oven to 190ºC. In a hot pan, brown all sides of the shoulder. Set the shoulder aside in the fridge to cool.
Make the Stilton crust: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the Stilton blue cheese and breadcrumbs to form a paste. Once the shoulder has cooled, smother it with the paste. Place in the oven and cook for 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on its size. Once cooked, rest the meat.
Prepare the vegetables: Blanch the green beans in boiling water, then refresh them in cold water. Pan-fry the torn bread with butter, oil, and garlic to create croutons. Return the beans to the pan, add a splash of vinegar, and heat until the beans are warm again. In the final seconds, toss through the fresh mint.
To serve: Slice the Stilton-crusted beef roast and serve it with the green beans and mint.
