    Servings

    8-12 portions

    Preparation

    5 minutes

    Cooking time

    30 minutes + 12 minutes per 500g

    Ingredients

    • 1 beef joint
    • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
    • Salt and pepper

    Method

    Preheat your oven to 220°C.

    First, rub the joint with the olive oil all over, then with the mustard.

    Season well with salt and pepper all over.

    Now put the joint into the preheated oven on 220°C for 30 minutes.

    After that time, turn the temperature down to 180°C and open the oven door slightly for a few minutes to let out some of the surplus heat.

    Roast for 12 minutes per 500g for a perfect pink.

    After that time, take the beef out of the oven and cover with foil.

    Leave to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
