Mustard & Thyme Roasted Beef

Directions

Preheat oven to 120°C (250°F).

Add the mustard seeds, salt, pepper and thyme in a mortar and pestle and pound until lightly crushed.

Pour the oil in, and stir until well combined. Set aside.

Brush the beef with the extra oil.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat and cook each side of the beef for about 2 minutes or until brown.

Remove from the pan.

Use the kitchen string to secure the beef, then rub the mustard mixture all over the beef.

Arrange on a rack in a baking dish or in a roasting pan and roast for 1½ hours for medium rare.
