Ingredients
- 1kg beef roasting joint (we used topside)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 red or white onion, sliced thickly
- 1 x 200g pack ready-chopped kale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Spread the Dijon mustard all over the beef joint, then sprinkle with the oregano to coat all over. Season with a good pinch of sea salt and some ground black pepper.
- Pile the sliced onion in the centre of a roasting tin and sit the beef joint on top. Add 4 tablespoons water to the roasting tin and roast for 1 hour.
- Remove the beef joint from the roasting tin; set aside on a board to rest, covered in foil.
- Add the kale to the roasting tin, drizzle with the oil and toss together with any juices and the onions in the tin. Roast for 8-10 minutes until cooked and crispy at the edges.
- Slice the beef; serve with the crispy kale and smashed tomatoes.
