Beef Fillet in Coconut is a fusion of South Asian and Western flavors. The beef fillet is marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and then seared to create a crusty outer layer while maintaining its moisture inside. Toasted desiccated coconut and coconut milk add a touch of sweetness to the dish, and the sliced spring onions provide a fresh and crisp element. This recipe is perfect for special occasions and dinner parties, but it is also approachable enough to be enjoyed as a weeknight dinner.

Instructions

1.Mix together the garlic, lemon rind, ginger, coriander, turmeric, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a bowl.
2.Rub the spice mixture all over the beef fillet and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
3.Preheat the oven to 400°F.
4.Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
5.Add the beef fillet to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned.
6.Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
7.Remove the skillet from the oven and let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8.In the meantime, heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the desiccated coconut until golden brown.
9.Serve the sliced beef fillet topped with the toasted coconut and spring onions, and drizzle the coconut milk over the top.
