Ingredients:

1. 2 kg sirloin beef (roast)

2. 900 ml of thickened cream

3. 125 grams of wholegrain mustard

4. 3 tablespoons of hot English mustard

5. 5 garlic cloves

Method: 

1. Obtain a beef cut such as sirloin beef suitable for roasting. Refer to photo. Cut garlic cloves in halves lengthwise and insert into meat after making incisions with the end of a sharp knife. 

2. Mix 600 ml (2/3) of the thickened cream with 60 grams (1/2) of the wholegrain mustard and the hot English mustard together. Place meat in a roasting tray and rub the mustard / thickened cream mixture into the meat. Cover with aluminium foil and allow to marinate in fridge overnight. If possible, turn over the meat once.

3. Heat oven to 250 degrees Centigrade. Turn over the meat and rub in the mustard / thickened cream mixture. Cover again with the aluminium foil. Bake in oven in mid position for 30 minutes. Remove foil cover, turn meat over, baste with mustard / thickened cream mixture. Mix the remaining thickened cream and wholegrain mustard, then pour over the roast. Reduce heat to 200 degrees Centigrade and bake roast uncovered until meat is cooked. Check at intervals. You may have to turn the roast over to ensure even cooking. Roasting time depends upon meat tenderness and cut. Test by inserting a skewer. If the skewer comes out clean, then the meat is cooked. If the meat bleeds, then it needs more cooking. Baste with the thickened cream / mustard mixture at regular intervals.

4. Remove from oven when cooked. Allow to cool and slice the roast into serve pieces, according to your own preference. Reserve the sauce and thicken over low heat before serving with the sliced roast beef.

5. Enjoy. Perfect with steamed vegetables.
