Place the joint on a chopping board and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish and brown the joint on all sides. Add the onions and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables caramelise.

40 minutes before the end of the cooking time add the parsnips and continue to cook.
