Beef Fillet with Garlic Tahini Sauce

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1.2 kg Scotch Fillet - or rib eye
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil - extra virgin
  • 1 tsp sea salt - or to taste
  • ground black pepper - to taste

Sauce

  • 1 clove/s garlic - minced
  • 1 tbsp hulled tahini 
  • 250 g natural or Greek yoghurt (1 cup)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 150°C / 300°F (fan-forced).
  • Rub the fillet in the olive oil so it is well coated. Then season with the sea salt and pepper.
  • Heat a cast iron or oven proof pan over a moderately high heat and sear the beef on all sides so it is dark brown and caramelised on all edges. Use tongs to turn it.
  • Then, simply place in the oven to roast (uncovered) for about an hour or until almost cooked to your liking.
  • I have a meat thermometer which I think is invaluable for getting this perfect. I cook this to med-rare, then wrap it tightly in foil to rest for about 30 minutes or more. This is really important and makes it super moist.
  • To make the tahini sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a serving bowl.

Serve

  • When ready to serve, slice the beef and then pour over the pan juices and juices from the foil wrapping.
  • Enjoy immediately with the tahini sauce and your favourite sides and salads.
  • My family also love this with various mustards.

Store

  • In an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Left overs are great to make a roast beef sandwich, roll, wrap or salad.

Notes

Dairy-free

Replace the yoghurt with coconut yogurt or cashew cream.

Sesame-free

Omit the tahini and replace with horseradish cream. 

Garlic-free

Omit the garlic and replace it with 1 tsp of ground cumin and a pinch or cayenne.
