Instructions:
Preheat the oven to Gas mark 5, 190°C, 375°F.
In a small bowl mix together the mustard, garlic purée and oil.
Place the joint on a chopping board, make several slashes over the surface, season and spread with the mustard mixture. Transfer to a roasting rack in a medium non-stick roasting tin and roast for 40-50 minutes (for medium). Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
Remove the joint from the oven, transfer to a warm plate, cover and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes, 20 if time allows.
Slice the roast and serve with gravy, mini sauté potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
