Cumin and Coriander beef fillet |

Posted by Graham in Beef, Featured Recipe on May 18, 2009 | 4 responses

beef-filletBeef fillet is such a flavorful meat and this simple and subtle spice recipe adds a fantastic flavour of the east that works perfectly with the beef. (6 people easily with some left over for sandwiches).

What you need

2kg beef fillet
Olive oil
1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon coriander powder
2 teaspoons garlic flakes
2 teaspoons chili flakes
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon black pepper

The process

Heat your oven to 200 Celsius

Rub the olive oil over the outside of the beef ensuring that the whole fillet has a little
oil over it.

Mix together all of the rest of the ingredients and spread them out on a dry cutting board.

Roll the fillet over the spices to coat the outside of the fillet uniformly.

Take a large pan and on a high heat add a little oil and sear the outside of the fillet to a
nice brown colour.

Remove from the pan, place on a baking tray and roast

30 minutes for rare
40 minutes for medium

Remove from the oven leaving on the tray and cover with aluminum foil for about 10
minutes before serving. (This is very important or the juices will flow out when you slice
it and the meat will be dry)

Served with roast vegetables and roast potatoes.

    Morning Graham it is me back again. Do you perhaps have any good roast lamb/pork recipes. Have not done in roast in ages and want a break from casseroles and stews.
