Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Smear the beef with mustard, salt and pepper and sit it on a bed of rosemary and bay leaves in a large shallow cooking pot or roasting tin. Put the shallots and potatoes around the beef in a single layer. Dribble the olive oil over the potatoes and shallots and mix with your hands. Make sure no herbs poke up from under the beef: they will burn.
  2. Put in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Turn the oven down to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and cook for a further 20-25 minutes.
  3. Remove. Keep the potatoes and shallots warm while the beef rests for 10 minutes. I sometimes serve this with courgettes, or follow it with a salad course of young leaf spinach in a salty, mustardy dressing.
