Recipe Salt Crusted Roasted Beef (Salted Meringue & Herbs Wrapped Sirloin) and Dealing with Allergic Friedly Gluten Free Snack: Tropikana Slim Alergon Cookies

 Roasted Beef Sirloinin Wrapped in Salt & Herbs Crust. Herbs marinated beef sirloin roast wrapped in a herbs-salted meringue crust then baked in the oven until the salt crust harden and the meat reached the desireable doneness. This is one simple method with a stunning results; juicy, tender and flavourfull roasted beef.

This Salt crust meringue wrapped beef roast is inspired by the ancient Spanish dish Lomo al Trapo or coarse salt wrapped grilled beef tenderloin in a cloth. This version or sirloin or solomillo al trapo using salted whipped egg whites meringues as the insulating agent instead of wet cloth and coarsed salt.

Roasting beef on salt crust is an ancient technique of cooking that applied by our ancestors. This salt crust using a whipped egg whites meringes instead of salted dough that i’m using for my Salt Crusted Roasted Chicken Ayam Betutu (Balinese Style Spiced Whole Chicken) which is turned out really good. The salted dough crust creating an “oven” inside the oven while i’m roasting it, resulting the most tender and moist roasted chicken i ever had; all the flavour and aromas also preserved, superb!

Despite the delicious looking meringues that wrapped the roasted beef sirloin, it’s totally inedible because it’s obviously too salty, hence therefore it’s named salt crust meringues. This is the cheaper version of salt crust because using fine salt instead of tons of coarse salt in common salt crust recipes. For a presentation purpose, i blakened the salt crust meringues with blowtorch further more after it’s popped ot from the oven,

Making salt crust beef striploin starting by selecting a nice striploin, mine was about  one and half inches thick striploin weighed about 400 grams, you can use bigger chunk of beef too for this recipe for sure. The meat was marinated overnight with herbs; rosemarry, thyme, oregano and bayleaves. Freshly ground black peppercorn, fennel and cumin also lovely too for flavouring the beef. Do not add any salt to your beef because the salted meringue crust is very salty and just perfest to salting the beef.

The beef need to be seared first before rosted in a salt crust. You can use a mad smoking hot sizzling skillet for do the tricks, b ut i’m using the blowtorch instead. You don’t want to cook the meat to the middle section, searing the beef means just want the other layer nicely browned.

The salt crust consist of one egg white from a very large egg or two (medium size egg) which is mixed with about 1/2 cup salt then whipped until stiff peak. This salted meringues crust is sufficient for about one pound (500 grams) of beef, You can add any  herbs or other flavouring agent too into the salted eringues as a seasoning that give flavour into the beef meat while  roasting it in the oven.  Put the whipped egg in the bottom of the roasting pan as a base, then put the herbs marinated and seared beef sirloin over it, after that apply another salt crust meringues to cover the beef completely  and evenly to sealed the moisture and make an even cooked roasted beef.

This is the salted whipped egg wrapped beef sirloin after i compeletely done my job, i’really put myself into it feeling #PicassoWannaBe. Just make sure you didn’t missed a spot of uncovered beef. I also put some black mustard leaves over the salt crusted meringues for a presentation purpose.

The salt and herb wrapped beef sirloin then popped into preheated 220 C oven for about 20 minutes for about 400-500 grams of beef roast or until the internal temperature reached desireable doness.Eversince you can use a visual or tactile method for examine the roasted beef doneness, hence using the meat gauge or meat thermometer for do this job. The Internal temparature medium rare roasted  beef with warm pinkish red center & juicy tender texture is about 55–58 °C, 60 -65°C for medium well with firm less pink center and  more than 70°C for well done with firm gray center, but i really recomend the medium rare for the best juicy and tender roasted beef

The salt crusted roasted beef is taken out of the oven after the internal temperature reach 58 °C because the internal temperature still increase about 3–5 °C (5–10 °F) after it is removed from an oven.  The salt crusted beef roast meat should be allowed to “rest” for at least 5-10 minutes before being served, which makes the meat easier to carve and its structure firmer and more resistant to deformation; its water-holding capacity also increases and less liquid is lost from the meat during carving to the guess.

Now were talking about Alergic, an allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a substance that’s harmless to most people. But in someone with an allergy, the body’s immune system treats the substance (called an allergen) as an invader and overreacts, causing symptoms that can range from annoying to serious or life threatening. In an attempt to protect the body, the immune system of the allergic person produces antibodies called immunoglobulin E (IgE). Those antibodies then cause mast cells and basophils (allergy cells in the body) to release chemicals (including histamine) into the bloodstream to defend against the allergen “invader”.

The tendency to develop allergies is often hereditary, which means it can be passed down through your genes. However, just because you, your partner, or one of your children might have allergies doesn’t mean that all of your kids will definitely get them, too. And someone usually doesn’t inherit a particular allergy, just the likelihood of having allergies. But a few kids have allergies even if no family member is allergic. And a child who is allergic to one substance is likely to be allergic to others.
