A different take on the weekend roast. Beef topside, rib or sirloin joint spread with mustard and topped with crispy bacon.
Ingredients
- 1 x 1.3kg lean beef topside, boneless rib or sirloin joint
- 2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
- 4 tablespoons freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 6-8 streaky bacon rashers, stretched
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180-190°C,160-170°C Fan,Gas mark 4-5.
- In a small bowl mix together the mustard and parsley.
Place the beef topside joint on a chopping board, make several slits over the surface of the joint and season. Rub with the mustard and herb mixture over the surface of the joint and inside the slits. Wrap the bacon rashers around the joint.
- Place the joint on a metal rack in a large roasting tin and open roast for the preferred, calculated cooking time, basting occasionally with any rich beefy juices.
- Leave the joint to rest for 10-15 minutes, slice and serve with sauté or roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
