Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Season the strip loin generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Get a cast pan on a high heat, add a little oil and sear on all sides until you have a nice crust.

Step 2

Then place the strip loin in a preheated oven at 180c/350f. To cook to medium allow 20-25 minutes per 500g of meat. Or if you have a meat thermometer, cook until you have an internal temp of 60c/140f.

Step 3

Meanwhile slice your tomatoes and pickles.

Step 4

Once the beef is cooked, leave to rest for 30 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

For the mozzarella, slice intro strips and get pan of water onto boil. Once it comes up to simmer, turn the heat down and place a mixing bowl on top, making it a bain-marie. Add the mozzarella and keep stirring and moving around until it has melted and become flexible.

Step 6

Place your crusty roll into the oven to warm up and slice the beef.

Step 7

Butter the roll generously, top with the beef, pickles, tomatoes and mozzarella.

Step 8

It's by no means traditional, but some mustard or horseradish wouldn't go a miss!
