Ingredients
- 1 venison topside
- olive oil
- salt and black pepper
Cabbage salad
- ¼ white cabbage, shredded
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- ½ red onion, sliced
- 5 button mushrooms, sliced
- sea salt flakes
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
Black beans
- ½ red onion
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 400 g can black beans (bean liquid reserved)
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C. Preheat a grill to high heat. Drizzle the topside roast with olive oil and sprinkle with salt pepper. Place the roast on the grill and grill each side for 5 minutes, or until dark browned. Transfer the meat to a baking tray and roast for 15 minutes (for medium rare-medium). Rest for 15 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, in a large serving bowl, combine all the cabbage salad ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the black beans and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove half the beans and then add the spices, seasoning and the reserved tinned bean liquid. Bring this the boil for 2 minutes, and then mash the beans slightly. Add the remaining beans back and taste for seasoning.
- Slice the topside and serve with the spiced black beans and cabbage salad.
Note
• I like to cook my topside fully on a charcoal BBQ but it takes practice to perfect.
