Bacon Wrapped Sirloin Roast

1125g (2½lb) Sirloin Roast
6 slices Bacon
4 medium Onions
2 to 3 tbsp Dijon Mustard
½ tsp Dried Thyme
Cherry Tomatoes
Salt and Black Pepper

Preheat oven to 170°C: 325°F: Gas 3.
Cut the onions into wedges
Tie the beef with twine, cut a few slits in the top.
Spread the mustard evenly over top and sides of beef, sprinkle with dried thyme.
Place roast on rack in baking tin.
Cover tightly with bacon slices, wrapping them around meat.
Roast meat for about 1¾ hours.
When the juices run slightly pink the beef will be medium rare.
Add onions 40 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Remove and rest, covered, for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Slice meat into even slices.
Serve with onions, bacon slices, if desired, and a gravy made from pan drippings.
Bacon gets crispy when cooking with roast.
Garnish with cherry tomatoes or tomato wedges.
The bacon on top of the roast keeps it moist during cooking and adds a delicate new flavour as well.
