- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
- 75g unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 500g mixed mushrooms (such as chestnut and Swiss brown), chopped if large
- 20g dried porcini mushrooms soaked in 1 cup (250ml) dry white wine for 1/2 hour
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 1 cup (250ml) Massel beef stock
- 300ml thickened cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
Yorkshire puddings

Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 230°C. Brush beef with mustard. Season, then sprinkle with thyme and 2 tablespoons oil. Place in a roasting pan and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 190°C and roast for a further 15 minutes per 500g, plus an extra 15 minutes for medium-rare. Rest for 20 minutes.
- Step 2Meanwhile, for the Yorkshire puddings, whiz the flour, eggs and milk in a blender or food processor until smooth. Season, then transfer to a jug and stand for 30 minutes. Divide oil among 8 holes of a muffin pan and heat in the oven for 5 minutes or until oil is very hot. Carefully remove from the oven and pour the batter into the holes. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
- Step 3Place butter and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook garlic and mixed mushrooms, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until starting to soften. Drain porcini, reserving wine, then chop and add to pan. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and reserved wine, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in cream and cook for 10 minutes or until slightly reduced. Season and stir through parsley and any beef resting juices.
- Step 4Carve beef and serve with wild mushroom sauce and Yorkshire puddings.
