Ingredients

  • 1 x 400-450g lean beef mini roast

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or similar

  • 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, crushed

  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed or olive oil

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C, 170°C fan, gas mark 5.

2. In a small bowl mix together the mustard, garlic purée and oil.

3. Place the roast on a chopping board, make several slashes over the surface, season and spread with the mustard mixture.  Transfer to a roasting rack in a medium non-stick roasting tin and roast for 40-50 minutes (for medium). Cover with foil if browning too quickly.

4. Remove the joint from the oven, transfer to a warm plate, cover and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes, 20 if time allows.

5. Slice the roast and serve with gravy, mini sauté potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
