Method

Ingredients

Mix together the salt, sugar, peppercorns, rosemary and basil.

Scatter the mixture onto a work surface, place the fillet on top and rub the seasoning all over it.

Wrap with cling film and set aside for at least 7 hours.

Remove the fillet from the cling film, rinse well and pat dry using kitchen paper.

The fillet will now be almost half dehydrated by the salt with the consistency of wet biltong. Slice thinly and serve.
