  • 1 red or white onion, sliced thickly
  • 1 x 200g pack ready-chopped kale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Step by step

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the beef joint from the roasting tin; set aside on a board to rest, covered in foil.
  4. 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.
