Spice the outside of the roll of beef with Dry Rub.
Lay the beef out flat on a clean surface and rub both sides with a little oil.
Combine the dry rub ingredients and use to coat one side (the outside) of the beef only. (Tip: triple the rub recipe and keep it in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Use it for everything, from chicken to fish, scrambled eggs and steak)
Turn the meat over in preparation for stuffing (recipe follows). The stuffing can be made a day in advance to save time.
Heat the oven to 350°F.
Spoon the stuffing onto the unspiced side of the beef.
Roll up the meat and tie 3-4 pieces of string or cooking bands around it to hold the roll in place.
Pour 1⁄2 cup chicken stock on bottom of pan; place stuffed meat inside and cover tightly with foil.
Bake for 2 1⁄2 hours, covered.
Stuffing:
Heat oil or schmaltz in a frying pan and fry the onions until golden brown.
Add the mushrooms, sage, and parsley and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add the flour and stir well; remove from heat.
Add the chicken stock, season with salt and pepper, mix well and finally add the cornflake / bread crumbs and mix well.
The stuffing should be quite firm, as it will soften with the juices given off by the meat during cooking.
