1 Preheat oven to 160°C. Trim beef of any visible fat. Place beef joint in a large roasting dish.

2 Mix together horseradish, mustard, herbs and breadcrumbs. Use to coat outside of beef. Weigh beef. Spray with a little olive oil.

3 Cook beef for 30-35 minutes per 500g. One kilo takes about 1 1/4 hours (with the crust) to cook. Spray several times with oil during cooking. Test beef is cooked by piercing meat (juices should run clear).

4 Leave to rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with roasted vegetables and steamed vegetables.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free horseradish sauce, mustard and breadcrumbs.

HFG tip

If meat has been refrigerated, bring to room temperature before cooking.
To rest a joint, leave meat in a warm place for at least 15 minutes so it doesn’t get cold. Resting a joint is essential as the meat relaxes and becomes more tender to make carving easier.
