In a fit of recklessness I bought a fillet of beef from the supermarket the other day. I'd always intended to have it with salad, but had originally planned to cut it into steaks.
I'm quite glad that I didn't and that I found this recipe from Epicurious:
The spice rub is the thing here and it really packs a flavour punch. It could easily be used with chicken as well. For a whole roasted bird or perhaps even better for a big bowl of wings with a tangy tomato based sauce.
I definitely over cooked the fillet. I think you could probably get by with 10-15 minutes in the oven depending on the size you buy. 25 minutes was overkill for the one I had.
Don't get me wrong, it was still yummy & moist - but I like fillet to be pretty much raw. In fact a solid sear on all sides would probably be enough, leaving the inside dark red & glassy.
I'd recommend giving this rub a go, if summer ever turns up I might even BBQ some pork fillet & let you know if it's delicious.
