Equipment

  • A large ovenproof skillet or roasting pan
  • An instant-read meat thermometer
  • Kitchen Twine
  • A sharp carving knife

Ingredients
  

  • 800 g sirloin roast about 1.75 lb, trimmed and tied
  • 150 g fresh cranberries
  • 125 ml red wine
  • 250 ml beef broth low sodium
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary finely chopped, plus sprigs to serve
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions
 

  • Take the sirloin out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and pat it dry. Tie it with kitchen twine at 5 cm intervals.
  • Mix the garlic, rosemary, thyme, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper into a paste and rub it all over the roast.
  • Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat and sear the sirloin for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned all over.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 35–40 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads 52°C (125°F) in the centre for medium-rare.
  • Move the roast to a board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 10–15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set the skillet over medium heat, add the red wine and scrape up the browned bits. Add the beef broth, cranberries and honey and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
  • Stir in the butter, slice the roast into medallions, and serve with the cranberry red wine sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

Pull the roast 3 degrees early — it rises while resting. Rest 10–15 minutes before slicing. Make the sauce in the same pan. Keeps 3 days refrigerated.
