How to Make Beef Fillet With Herb Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the beef fillet dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, combine chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley), breadcrumbs, garlic, and olive oil. Mix well.
  4. Press the herb mixture firmly onto the surface of the beef fillet, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  5. Sear the beef fillet in a hot skillet with a little olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  6. Transfer the seared fillet to a roasting pan.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
