Ingredients

  • 2 pounds center cut fillet of beef, spiral cut
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup store bought pesto
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 long wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for at least 30 minutes

Method

  • With the heel of your hand or a meat mallet, pound the meat and flatten to a thickness of about 1/2-inch.
  • Sprinkle the inside of the meat with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the pesto over the meat, leaving a 1-inch border on 1 long side.
  • Roll the meat towards the border.
  • With your knife, mark the fillet at 1-inch intervals.
  • Run skewers through your fillet in between your knife marks so that each portion has a skewer securing it.
  • Using your knife marks as a guide, cut your fillet into slices.
  • Drizzle with the oil.
  • Preheat the grill or a grill pan.
  • Grill slices over high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
  • Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
