Impress your guests with a gourmet fillet of beef for summer entertaining.
Ingredients:
  • 7.50 gm ground cumin
  • 2.50 gm ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds, finely crushed
  • 1.25 gm smoked sweet Spanish paprika
  • 2.5kg beef tenderloin, trimmed of sinew
  • Olive oil, to brush
  • 1 large eschalot, finely chopped
  • 150ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 82.50 ml fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
  • 82.50 ml fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 82.50 ml fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 100g Sicilian green olives, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C and place a roasting pan inside. Combine spices, brush beef with oil, then sprinkle spices and 1 teaspoon sea salt all over. Place the beef in the hot pan and roast for 7 minutes. Flip the beef and roast for another 7 minutes. Repeat this process twice more, for a total of 28 minutes for a medium-rare doneness. Allow the beef to rest loosely covered with foil for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Mix together all the ingredients for the olive and mint dressing in a bowl, then season to taste.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the beef, white beans, and summer vegetables before serving.
