Peat Roasted Beef Fillet

Cooking with peat gives a wonderful earthy and slightly smoky taste that really suits beef.听You also get pink, juicy roasted meat that allows you to brag about bringing true terror to the kitchen.

听

Serves 8

听

Prep time: 听10 mins

听

Cooking time: 听60-90 mins

听

Ingredients

听

1kg beef fillet (preferably organic or free-range)

80g BrookLodge organic steak rub (or make your own with salt & pepper & half the amount of your favourite dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary, oregano, a dash of chilli powder & a some crushed fresh garlic)

50ml rapeseed oil (preferably organic)

2kg 100% organic peat

听

Method

1.Preheat the oven to 220C / gas mark 7. 听

听

2.Cut the beef fillet in half (or quarters if you have a small oven), coat with some rapeseed oil, before massaging in the steak rub & put to one side.

听

3.Heat a large frying pan with the remaining rapeseed oil & seal the beef on all sides to a nice brown colour.

听

4.In a large roasting tray, place enough of the peat to line the bottom of the dish (about a 2cm layer).

听

5.On top, place both pieces of beef lengthways & cover with the rest of the peat, patting & pressing to form the shape of the meat.

听

6.Put in the oven & immediately reduce the heat to 200C / gas mark 6 & roast for at least an hour (although 90 mins would be fine). 听

听

7.When cooked, remove from the oven & rest for 15 mins, before taking the beef out of the peat. 听Rub with paper towel to take off most of the excess peat.

听

8.Carve & serve.

听

Nigel's Top Tips

  • You can leave it to cook on a low heat for up to 2hrs if you're going out, as the peat will ensure the meat remains succulent.

  • Works well on a barbecue with a lid
