Honey & Mustard Glazed Hereford Beef Roast

A Sunday roast doesn’t have to be complicated, but it should always be special. Using the roasting joint from your Hereford Beef Box, this recipe combines a sweet and savoury glaze that pairs perfectly with the rich flavour of grass-fed Hereford beef.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

• 1.5–2kg Hereford Beef Roasting Joint (from your Beef Box)

• 3 tbsp wholegrain mustard

• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 4 garlic cloves, crushed

• 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp cracked black pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

2. Make the glaze - In a bowl, mix mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. Prepare the beef - Pat the joint dry with kitchen paper. Place in a roasting tin and rub the glaze all over the beef.

4. Roast - Place in the oven for 20 minutes to get a nice crust, then reduce the heat to 160°C (140°C fan). Roast for a further:

   • Rare: 15 minutes per 500g

   • Medium: 20 minutes per 500g

   • Well-done: 25 minutes per 500g

5. Rest the beef - Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

6. Serve - Slice thinly and serve with roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and a rich gravy made from the pan juices.

Farm Tip 

Leftovers make incredible roast beef sandwiches the next day. Just add horseradish cream or mustard.

Why This Recipe Works with Hereford Beef

Our grass-fed beef has natural depth of flavour that doesn’t need much fussing. The honey and mustard glaze enhances that flavour, giving a caramelised crust that balances savoury with just the right touch of sweetness.
