Directions
Roast Beef With a Mustard Crust and Traditional Gravy,From the tesco magazine, I havent tried it yet, but I will soon.,This is the exact same method I’ve used for venison. The mustard helps with any gamy taste the venison may have. I got the method from an uncle who is a hunter, more than 30 yrs ago! Works on elk too.

Meanwhile to Make the Gravy: Tilt the Roasting Tin and Spoon Off All but 2 Tbsp of the Fat, Also Retaining the Brown Juices and the Caramelised Onion. Place the Mixture in a Saucepan Over a Gentle Heat and Allow the Juices to Sizzle Then Sprinkle in the Flour and Blend to a Smooth Paste. Let the Flour Cook For a Moment or Two Until Browned. This Helps to Produce a Rich Colour Gravy. |
