Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 g beef fillet
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt.
Strip the leaves off the rosemary and thyme sprigs and chop them finely. Add the herbs to the marinade and mix well.
Place the beef fillet in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the beef in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or for best results, overnight.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). If you prefer, you can also cook the beef on the grill.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side, creating a golden crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the beef fillet for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 55-60°C (130-140°F) for medium-rare.
While the beef cooks, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes to create a sauce.
Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Serve the beef fillet with the reduced marinade sauce on the side and your favorite accompaniments such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
