Roast

2008.06.03
A 2kg joint of sirloin. It's not cheap, but was the only cut I knew how to say in Japanese. Remove from fridge at least 30 mins before cooking.

Although the joint is roasted in the oven, the gas hob is used plenty for the potatoes and the gravy. The stainless pan comes in handy to sear the joint on all sides before cooking.

Basic seasoning before cooking. Honey, English mustard, salt and black pepper.

A small bag of potatoes to be par boiled and roasted after the joint is done. The celery, carrot and onion should be roughly chopped and put in the bottom of the roasting tin to lift the meat above its own juices.

Mix one tablespoon of honey with 2 of mustard and 60ml of water and baste the joint.

It should look like this after searing the meat in a large pan for a couple of minutes.

At 240oC cook for 25 mins and then turn down to 180oC and cook for 15 mins per 450g plus 15 mins. I prefer things on the side of well done.

When done, cover in foil and leave for 30 mins to let the juices run back into the meat.

Cook the roast 'tats' while the joint is waiting and sprinkle with a little Permesan and salt.

Slice the beef as you like and serve with fresh vegetables and any wine you prefer...
