Japanese mustard-miso roasted beef fillet

Japanese mustard-miso roasted beef fillet

Serves 6



2 tbsp   red miso
¼ cup   shoyu
2 tbsp   mirin
2½ tsp   Japanese mustard powder
2 tsp   finely grated ginger
3   cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp   caster sugar
1.5 kg   fillet of beef
2 tsp   vegetable oil
To serve:   steamed koshikari rice, green beans tossed with toasted sesame seeds and Japanese hot mustard


1 Place all ingredients except beef and oil in a bowl and whisk to combine. Tuck thin tail end of fillet under, then, using kitchen string, tie fillet at 2.5cm intervals into a compact shape. Place beef in a ceramic or flat glass dish, pour mustard-miso marinade over and turn to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
2 Heat a flameproof roasting pan over high heat, add oil and drained beef and cook beef, turning until browned all over. Transfer pan to a 200C oven and roast beef for 15 minutes or until cooked to your liking, then rest, covered, in a warm place for 5 minutes.
3 Serve slices of beef with steamed rice and green beans to the side, with Japanese mustard passed separately.
