MUSTARD-ROASTED BEEF FILLET

Steps:

• Season the fillets generously with the cracked pepper and salt. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or flameproof roasting tray until starting to smoke. Then, one at a time, sear the fillets until brown on all sides - about 6 mins per fillet. Leave the beef to cool slightly. Meanwhile, lay the prosciutto so that it's overlapping on two large sheets of greaseproof paper.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Brush the beef all over with mustard and place on the prosciutto. Wrap the prosciutto around the beef and secure with string.
• Sit the fillets next to each other on a roasting tray and roast for 40 mins for medium or 50 mins for well done. Leave the beef to cool in the roasting tray. Dab the fillets with kitchen paper to remove any excess juices. Then either carve into thin slices and lay over two platters or place the fillets on the platters and serve with a carving knife and fork, so that guests can help themselves.

MUSTARD-ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Let beef stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season beef all over with salt and pepper. Whisk together butter and mustards; coat beef all over with mixture. Roast on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the upper third of the oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 135 degrees (for rare) to 140 degrees (for medium-rare), about 40 minutes (time will vary depending on thickness of cut). Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

ROAST BEEF WITH A CLASSIC BREADCRUMB, GARLIC & HERB CRUST

Steps:

• Let the roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F Put a roasting rack in the roasting pan or a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet. (Line the pan with foil for easier clean-up if you like.).
• Season the roast liberally with salt and pepper on all sides. Turn on the exhaust fan. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, brown the meat well on all sides, including the ends, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to the roasting pan. Set aside to cool while you prepare the crust.
• In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, shallots, garlic, thyme, marjoram, 1/2 teaspoons salt & 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Pour the melted butter into the breadcrumb mixture; toss to combine.
• Using a rubber spatula, smear the top and sides of the beef with the musterd. With your hands, lightly press the breadcrumb mixture into the mustard.
• Roast the beef until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle part of the mead reads 125°F for medium rare, about 60 minutes for a strip loin roast or 60 to 80 minutes for a top sirloin roast, depending on its thickness. (To keep the crust from over browning start checking on the roast after 30 minutes of cooking, and when the crust is golden brown, tent it with aluminum foil).
• Meanwhile make the horseradish-mustard sauce (recipe follows).
• Remove the roast from the oven and let the meat rest for 10 to 20 minutes (the meat will continue to cook as it rests) before carving, across the grain, into 1/2 inch thick slices.
• CREAMY HORSERADISH-MUSTARD SAUCE: In small bowl, whisk all the ingredients. Let the sauce sit for 20 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving. The sauce can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; stir before using.

FILET OF BEEF WITH MUSTARD-HERB CRUST

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, 1/4 cup oil, the parsley, mint, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
• Adjust oven rack so top of beef will be 4 to 6 inches from heat. Set oven control to broil.
• Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper if desired. In 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil and the butter over medium-high heat until butter is melted and no longer sizzles. Cook beef in oil mixture 5 minutes or until browned. Flip and cook 10 minutes longer or until brown and meat thermometer inserted in center of beef reads 145°F (medium-rare).
• Divide mustard among beef, spreading evenly over tops. Spoon about 1/4 cup topping evenly over each filet. Use pancake turner to press down on topping so it sticks to filets. Broil 2 minutes or until bread crumbs are lightly browned.
• Remove beef from oven and allow to stand 5 minutes before serving.
