Beef tenderloin in walnuts

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup lightly toasted breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 medium cloves garlic, grated
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 beef tenderloin*, trimmed, about 2 kg.
• *You can replace the tenderloin with roast beef

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
2. Mix the nuts, breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic, zest, rosemary, and salt in a medium bowl. Place the tenderloin on a baking dish. Fold the narrow end under to ensure even cooking. Press the topping firmly onto the top and sides of the tenderloin.
3. Roast for 35–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
