- 2Using a mortar and pestle, grind the seeds together until coarsely crushed. Add salt, mixed spice and pepper, mix well. Remove a third of the spice mixture and reserve. Brush beef with oil, rub remaining spice mixture all over beef.

Notes
Ask the butcher to tie beef with string between ribs to retain a neat shape while cooking.
