Peppered roast beef with herb and olive salsa

A well-balanced rub helps create that flavourful crust on the outside, while the inside stays soft and juicy.

A good spice rub is one of the simplest ways to build flavour in meat, especially with a cut like beef fillet. This recipe, compliments of Woolworths TASTE, pairs a bold, peppered crust with a fresh olive salsa.
