1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Place beef in a roasting pan, drizzle with half of oil and season to taste. Roast 40-50 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Cover and rest 10 minutes. Slice to serve.

2.Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large frying pan on high. Saute zucchini 4-5 minutes, until lightly browned, tossing frequently.

3.Transfer to a bowl and add half of mint, garlic and red wine vinegar. Season to taste. Stand 5-10 minutes. Just before serving, stir through remaining mint.

4.Serve sliced beef drizzled with pan juices, topped with a dollop of yoghurt, with zucchini on side.

As a general rule, 20-30 minutes cooking per 500 grams of beef.
