Low Temperature Cooking

Pre-heat oven and baking tray to 80°C without the fan. Pat dry with kitchen paper. Heat a frying pan on high. Add a little oil to the pan, or brush directly onto the meat. Sear the meat all over for 4-5 minutes in total.

Place on the pre-heated tray and season with salt & pepper. Set the thermometer to 60°C and insert horizontally into the centre of the meat.

Put into the oven until the thermometer alarm sounds (approx 1 -1½hrs).

Chefs Tip: Just before serving brush with a thin layer of dijon mustard & roll in finely chopped fresh soft herbs of your choice. Choose a milder herb like flat leaf parsley, chives, basil, chervil.

Pan to Oven Roasting

Pre-heat a conventional oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas 8. First sear in a pan on all sides for 6-8 minutes, then roast in the oven at 230°C.

Take care not to overcook or the resulting fillet will be dry & tough. Then rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
