Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Crush the peppercorns with a pestle and mortar then mix in the salt and mustard powder. Sprinkle onto a large plate. Brush the beef with some of the oil and roll in the seasoning.

  • STEP 2

    Heat remaining oil until very hot in a large heavy-based pan. Put the beef in the pan and turn heat to medium. Sear for 30 minutes, turning every 6-7 minutes until the seasonings form a deep brown crust. This will be rare in the middle. For well-cooked, add 10 minutes. Leave to cool on a plate. Boil potatoes for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain, toss in the butter.

RECIPE TIPS
TO TAKE TO THE PICNIC

Put the potatoes in a foil parcel. Slice the beef thinly, transfer to a square of foil, pour over juices and wrap. At the picnic scatter watercress over a platter. Lay the beef over and scatter the artichokes and peppers around. Drizzle over oil from the artichoke jar and pour over the meat juices. Tear the mint over the warm potatoes and serve.
