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.
