Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 steak fillet about 36 to 40oz
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of three limes
- 6 cloves garlic - roughly chopped
- 1/2 inch ginger - chopped
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- 1 fresh green chili
- 1 tablespoon crushed black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- 1
Place all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor and blend to a smooth paste.
- 2
Set your whole steak fillet on top of a piece of cling film that is large enough to wrap tightly around the meat about five times.
- 3
Pour the marinade over the meat and rub it into the flesh.
- 4
Now tightly wrap the fillet into a tube, pulling the cling film as you do so that you form the fillet into a tight sausage shaped tube.
- 5
Marinate in the cling film for three to eight hours.
- 6
When you are ready to cook, unwrap the fillet and cut it into four equal sized round steaks about 1 1/2 inches thick.
- 7
Heat the butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.
- 8
When the pan is good and hot, fry the steaks until cooked to your preferred doneness. I like my steaks rare which takes about four minutes per side for a 1 1/2 inch thick fillet steak.

Serve the fillet stead with a green salad, French bread or garlic naans.
