Ingredients

1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme leaves
2 teaspoons sumac
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½-1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or more depending on how hot you’d like it)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1kg beef such as rump, excess fat and sinew removed, cut into chunks

This makes enough spice mix for around 1kg beef for a crowd, but make half the amount if serving fewer people.
