Remove from oven, wrap the beef in foil and leave it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Before serving, sear the beef in pan for another 1 minute on all sides.

Heat olive oil, add butter and garlic, then spinach and saute for 30 seconds. Season with sea salt.
Pepper Jus:
Sweat shallot, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, anise in a little oil for 5 to 10 minutes on low heat.
Turn to high heat, add pepper and stir until it turns aromatic. Then add balsamic vinegar to deglaze, followed by beef stock and sugar.
Reduce on medium to high heat for 5 to 10 minutes until it reaches desired flavour or thickness.
Recipe Tip
Instead of using finishing salt on beef, replace it with a squeeze of lemon juice or yuzu for extra brightness!
