Rosemary-crusted beef fillet with horseradish cream is perfect for effortless entertaining and will make a fantastic main dish recipe at any dinner party.

Rosemary-crusted beef fillet with horseradish cream

Beef fillet, beef tenderloin or filet of beef (there are so many names!), always screams celebration to me. It’s my go-to main dish for impressing guests or adding a special touch to dinner parties and this recipe is so easy, it requires minimal effort but delivers big on flavor.

I love this technique of rolling the whole fillet in chopped rosemary, salt and pepper as this gets the flavor right into the meat and develops a beautiful crust when seared. Served with the punchy horseradish cream, this becomes a main dish to remember. It’s also perfect served at room temperature with salads and crusty bread as part of a casual feast.

How do you cook a fillet of beef?

Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC/428ºF. Finely chop fresh rosemary then mix with sea salt flakes and freshly cracked black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the beef fillet. Sprinkle the spice mixture over a chopping board and roll the beef fillet into the seasoning, covering the surface well. Heat a large cast iron skillet/frying pan over high heat then sear the fillet on all sides. Place in the oven and allow to roast for 20 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 55ºC/130ºF for rare, 62ºC/145ºF for medium and 70ºC/160ºF for well done.

      The lemon is added to the horseradish cream, I don’t know how the butter sneaked in there, removed it now. 🙂
