Tips for a tasty scotch fillet roast

1. To cook meat evenly, ensure it is at room temperature before cooking.
2. Rub it with olive oil and season it well.
3. Preheat the oven or barbecue to 200C.
4. Take it out just before your preferred doneness, as it goes up a little in temperature and the doneness will increase a little while it rests.
5. It is important to let it rest before serving, place on a platter, cover it loosely foil and rest for 15-20 mins before slicing.

Rare, medium or well done?

Cook the beef for 15 mins per 500g for medium rare, 15-20 mins for medium or 20-25 mins for well done.
