Before cooking: Preheat oven 220°C. / Fan 180°C / Gas 7. Pre-heat pan to a medium/high heat. Leave beef joint at room
temperature for 15 minutes. Remove all packaging and set aside the butter, thyme and jus sachet for later use. Rub 2 tsp of oil
over all sides of the beef. Place into a dry pan and cook for 4 minutes, ensuring all sides are seared. Place beef onto roasting tray on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 3 ½ minutes per 100g (Electric & Fan), 4 ½ minutes per 100g (Gas).
During cooking: Remove from oven, and carefully place butter and thyme on top of beef and return to oven for the final 3 minutes of cooking. Remove the beef joint
from oven and loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes.
After cooking: Whist the beef is resting, transfer the contents of the jus sachet into a small saucepan. Warm over a medium heat and bring up to a simmer for 2 minutes,
stirring frequently. Place the rested joint onto a chopping board and thinly slice. Serve the beef on a warmed plate with the sauce. Check food is piping hot.
