Preheat the oven to 400f / 200c / Gas Mark 6

Place beef onto roasting tray and roast for 30 minutes

After 10 minutes, place potatoes (chopped in half) into boiling water

After 30 minutes (20 mins after potatoes) Remove the beef from the oven, cover in kitchen foil and place back in the oven,
leave the door open and switch the oven off.

Bring the frying pan back to the heat and cook the chorizo, 5 - 7 minutes until crisp and darkened. Add the sherry vinegar and
boil for 2 minutes (this may catch fire so be ready!!) Add the mustard and potatoes, season with salt and black pepper, mix well
for a minute with a spatula. Whilst mixing, keep cutting the potoatoes in half with the spatula until the potatoes are into
nice 1 - 2 cm chunks
Add the butter and stir for another minute

Serving
Spoon 4 equal portions of the potato and chorizo mixture onto each plate
Carve the beef and place 3 - 4 slices overlapping ontop of the mixture
