Cooking Method
- In a bowl, mix the herbs, garlic, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper. Generously coat the meat with the mixture.
- Set up your grill for indirect cooking, aiming for 190C. Put the sirloin on the grill away from direct heat. Close the lid and roast the meat to your preferred doneness. 57C for medium rare or 63C for medium.
- Coat the potatoes in olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Halfway through roasting your sirloin, put them on the grill for around 40 minutes until they’re crispy and golden.
- When there’s only 20 minutes to go for the potatoes, add the honey-drizzled carrots and parsnips, allowing them to nicely glaze.
- Once the sirloin has reached the desired temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving into slices.
- Serve the sliced sirloin with the sides, adding a bit of horseradish for an optional extra kick.
