1.6kg piece of scotch millet or beef sirloin
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lemon, rind finely grated/juiced
500g mushrooms, trimmed

Steps:

Remove beef from fridge 60 min before cooking. Preheat oven to 200c. Combine mustard, oil, lemon rind and 1/3rd cup of the lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl. Whisk until combined. Place beef in a lightly greased roasting pan. Pour marinade over beef and turn to coat all sides. Place on shelf just above the centre of the oven and roast for 20 min. Remove beef from oven and baste with pan juices. Reduce oven to 180c and roast for a further 24 min. Remove from oven and baste again. Arrange mushrooms around beef and turn to coat in pan juices. Return to oven and roast both for a further 20 min. Cover and set aside for 15 min to rest. Serve beef with mushrooms, pan juices and beans.
