Heat your oven to 200C

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)

Serve with roast vegetables and roast potatoes.
