Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 200 °C.

Brown meat briefly, all round in a hot frying pan. Sear the ends of the fillet too.

Place the fillet on a wire rack in a roasting pan.

Roast open for ± 15 - 20 minutes to medium rare 55 °C.

Remove from the oven, cool and then wrap in cling film.

Refrigerate overnight or for 3 hours.

 Bread

Cut the bread into ± 1 cm thick slices.

 Mustard Spread

Mix all the ingredients together.

 Assembly

Unwrap fillet and slice the meat very thinly, use a meat slicer if available.

Spread slices of French bread generously with the Mustard Spread and top with a slice of fillet.

Add a slice of gherkin and ½ olive.

Arrange on a platter and give it a generous grinding of black pepper.
