  • 10 Superb Herb Thyme & Rosemary sprigs
  • Handful of Superb Herb Sage
  • Olivado Avocado Oil Infused With Rosemary
  • Zest of 1 orange & lemon
  • Mrs Rogers Coarse Sea Salt & Black Pepper
For the Bearnaise Sauce
  • 150 g Mainland Salted Butter cubed
  • 1/2 cup DYC White Wine Vinegar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shallots thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups Superb Herb Texas Tarragon roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Mrs Rogers Black Peppercorns
  • 3 Woodland Egg yolks

  1. 1
    For the Beef: Preheat oven to 200C.
  2. 2
    Tie rib eye with string at 5cm intervals. Rub with garlic, orange zest and avocado oil. BBQ or sear on a high heat until browned all over.
  3. 3
    Once seared, tuck thyme, rosemary and sage underneath the strings. Season with salt and pepper, then place on a roasting dish.
  4. 4
    Roast for 60 mins for rare, 75 mins for medium rare or 90 mins for well done. Rest the cooked meat for 20 minutes with baking paper and a tea towel instead of tin foil. This will keep your meat warm, juicy and succulent.
  5. 5
    For the Bearnaise Sauce: Add fresh chopped tarragon, the black peppercorns, white wine vinegar, water and shallots to a saucepan and bring to a simmer on medium heat. Turn down to medium low heat and reduce liquids down to 3 tbsp, about 15 mins. Strain, keeping the liquid, and set aside.
  6. 6
    Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave until bubbling. Wait for a minute for the butter to ?clarify?, meaning the milk solids separate from the golden butter liquid.
  7. 7
    In a food processor, blitz the egg yolks and hot vinegar mixture and blitz for 1 minute. Slowly drizzle in the hot clarified butter while the food processor is on full speed. Once all the clarified butter is added, keep blitzing for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. 8
    Serve roast beef with bearnaise sauce. Divine.
