Ingredients

  • 1 x 400-450g lean beef mini roast (we used a mini topside joint)
  • Freshly milled black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or similar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic purée
  • 1 tablespoon rapeseed 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 joint 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.
