Roast Sirloin of Beef

Trim off a little of the fat from around a two-and-a-half-pound boned piece tender sirloin of beef. Season all around with a teaspoon salt and half teaspoon pepper, then place it in a roasting tin, spread a little fat over, pour two tablespoons water in the pan and set in the oven to roast for forty-five minutes, being careful to turn and baste it once in a while. Remove, dress on a hot dish, skim off the fat from the surface of the gravy, then pour gravy over the beef, decorate with a little watercress and serve.
