INGREDIENTS
- 2 Tbsp Capers,chopped
20 Green Olives,chopped
2 Garlic cloves, grated or chopped finely
2 Tbsp Flat leaf parsley, fresh and chopped
1 tsp Oregano, fresh and chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp Basil, fresh and chopped
1/4 tsp Black pepper, course
150 g Feta
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1.2 kg Scotch Fillet
3 Tbsp Rosemary, fresh and chopped
Salt and Black pepper to season meat
3 Tbsp Butter
10-14 toothpicks
MAKING THE MAGIC
Heat oven to 200 degrees celsius
In a bowl, mix together capers, olives, garlic, parsley, oregano, basil,black pepper and chopped up feta.
With the scotch fillet, make a slit in the side of the fillet, really cutting deep into the fillet and create a pocket to stuff the filling in.
Stuff the filling into the middle of the fillet and use toothpicks to close up the hole (I used around 10).
Rub fillet with olive oil then rub in rosemary, salt and black pepper.
In a hot pan, add in the butter and pan-sear the fillet for a few minutes, repeat all over until the fillet is golden brown in colour.
Place in a hot oven (200 degrees Celsius) and cover with foil or baking paper and cook for 1 hour.
Take out the oven and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Slice into thick pieces and serve with balsamic cherry tomatoes and rocket
