Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°c.
2. Season the outside of the meat with salt & pepper.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and then carefully place the meat in and fry it on all sides until it is brown all over (Tip: use barbeque tongs to turn it).
4. Put the beef in a roasting dish, put it into the oven and cook it for:
   20 minutes per kilo for rare
   27 minutes per kilo for medium-rare
