About this recipe

This roast of beef in salt crust is a dish that I discovered years ago during a trip to the Camargue. An old fisherman, passionate about cooking, had confided in me the secret of this particular cooking method, which wonderfully preserves the tenderness of the meat. Since then, I have adapted it in my own way, adding a touch of spices and accompanying it with complementary flavors. The success of this dish depends on the quality of the ingredients. The roast of beef, ideally a marbled piece like a ribeye or sirloin, must be of impeccable freshness. The salt crust, composed of coarse salt, flour, egg and water, plays an essential role: it traps the moisture and aromas of the meat during cooking, while protecting it from the direct heat of the oven. The turmeric, added to the dough, gives it a beautiful golden color. The spice blend, meanwhile, brings an incomparable depth of flavor. Cumin, ginger, coriander and cinnamon blend perfectly to create a warm and exotic fragrance. The use of the Thermomix® greatly facilitates the preparation of the salt dough and spiced butter. For the dough, be sure to respect the indicated proportions and not to work it too much, so that it remains supple and easy to spread. The kneading mode of the Thermomix® is ideal for obtaining a homogeneous and elastic dough. For the spiced butter, do not hesitate to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your tastes. This dish can be declined in different ways. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the roast of beef with a large Portobello mushroom, stuffed with a mushroom duxelles and fresh herbs. For a vegan version, replace the egg in the salt dough with olive oil and the spiced butter with a spiced avocado puree. You can also vary the spices according to your desires: smoked paprika, Sichuan pepper, Raz el Hanout blend... To accompany this roast, I advise you to serve seasonal vegetables roasted in the oven, such as carrots, parsnips or squash. A crisp green salad will bring a touch of freshness. The mango chutney, with its sweet and tangy flavor, is a perfect marriage with the meat and spices. The roast of beef in salt crust can be prepared in advance. The salt dough can be stored in the refrigerator for 24 hours. The cooked roast can be sliced and gently reheated in the oven. Mango chutney can be kept for several days in the refrigerator.
