Ingredients
1 kg beef (one thick piece)
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
1½ tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder (or fresh garlic)
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
Step-by-Step Method (Very Important)
1️⃣ Bring meat to room temperature
Take beef out of fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking
➡️ This keeps it juicy.
2️⃣ Season well
Rub meat with:
Oil
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Paprika
Herbs
Press seasoning into the meat.
3️⃣ Hard sear (this makes the crust)
Heat pan very hot
Add a little oil
Sear each side 2–3 minutes until dark brown
👉 Don’t move it too much
4️⃣ Finish cooking (key step)
Two options:
🔥 Oven (best)
Oven at 170°C
Put beef in oven 25–35 minutes
Internal temp ≈ 70–75°C (well done but juicy)
🍳 Pan + lid
Lower heat
Cover pan
Cook slowly 20–30 minutes, turning once
5️⃣ REST THE MEAT (DO NOT SKIP)
Remove from heat
Cover loosely with foil
Rest 10–15 minutes
👉 This keeps it juicy like the picture.
6️⃣ Slice correctly
Slice against the grain
Medium thickness (not too thin)
