Beef fillet with horseradish butter and mushrooms

Preheat oven to 200C.

To make the horseradish butter, use a food processor to mix the horseradish, parsley, mustard, lemon juice and a pinch of white pepper for about 1 minute or until well combined. Add butter, and process a further 30 seconds or until just combined.

Roll butter mixture in sheets of baking paper into a log shape about 4 centimetres in diameter. Refrigerate until firm.

Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Seal the beef fillet on all sides until browned. Cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until desired doneness*. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes, before slicing.

For the lemon thyme oil, combine all ingredients together in bowl. Season to taste.

In a non-stick pan, heat half of the lemon thyme oil and add the mushrooms, stem side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden. Turn over, and brush the insides of the mushrooms with the remaining lemon thyme oil and cook until the mushrooms are tender.

Serve beef sliced with a disc of the horseradish butter, and a grilled mushroom.

*Tip: Use a meat thermometer to cook the beef: for rare, rest it at about 52C. Make it 55C for medium rare and 60C for well done.
