  1. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Season the beef thoroughly. Heat a heavy roasting tin on the hob and add a little oil.

    Extremely tasty and delicious, especially the gravy was to die for. It is also quite easy to prepare. Made this for christmas.

    I really enjoyed making this for our Christmas dinner. It came out perfectly and leaving it to sit made it all the more tender. I am making it again this evening for my Son-In-Law as a present for his birthday.
