• 4tbsp sunflower oil
• 1 x 1kg Extra Special Extra Mature British Beef Roasting Joint
• 300g shallots, peeled
• 125g plain flour
• 1 large egg
• 300ml semi-skimmed milk
• 2tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 75g butter, softened
• 100g Extra Special Blue Stilton, crumbled
• 50g breadcrumbs

1 Preheat oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Heat half the oil in a roasting tin for 5 minutes. Put the beef in the tin and turn in the fat. Cook for 20 minutes, then add the shallots.

2 Meanwhile, make the Yorkshire batter, then Stilton crust. Sift the flour into a bowl. Season and then gradually whisk in the egg, milk and thyme. Cover and set aside. For the crust, mix the butter, Stilton and breadcrumbs.

3 After a further 20 minutes (40 altogether), remove beef from oven and remove net. Spread the sides with the Stilton mix, pressing down to form a crust. Return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes. (A cooking time of one hour will give you a medium-rare joint.) Remove and rest for 20 minutes.

4 Turn oven up to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Divide remaining oil between the holes in a bun tin and heat for 5 minutes. Fill with batter and cook for 15 minutes
