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.
