How to Chop Herbs

Method

  • Combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper and rub into the beef. Set aside to marinade for 30 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C.

  • Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the extra oil and sear the beef until it is brown on all sides then transfer it to a roasting dish. Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes (or 7-10 minutes per 500g). Remove from the oven, cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes before carving.

  • Combine créme fraîche, horseradish sauce, fresh thyme and lemon zest and serve with beef.
