Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Roast the beef in a large roasting tin for 30 minutes.
  2. Mix the crust ingredients in a bowl. Remove the beef from the oven and turn to 170°C/150°C fan/gas 3½. Spread the crust paste over the beef and season well. Roast for 1-2 hours more until a digital probe thermometer reads 55°C for medium-rare or 60°C for medium (push it into the centre). Once it reaches 40°C, the temperature will rise quickly, so keep checking. When the beef is cooked to your liking, remove from the oven and leave to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour, covered loosely with foil. Serve with roasties and your choice of veg.
