Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Beef filet
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Rub the beef filets with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Cover the filets and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Remove the marinated beef filets from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Sear the beef filets on each side for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness, to achieve a nicely browned crust.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the filets to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 125°F (51°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
Once cooked, transfer the beef filets to a plate or cutting board. Tent them with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the beef filets with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
