Smear the ingredients properly on the fillet and allow to marinate for a while..minimum at least and hour ..overnight even better

Add about 125 to 150g of butter to ur pot
And heat up the butter on medium heat
Gently place ur fillet in the pot and fry the fillet few minutes on each side..gently moving it around so the butter does not burn out If u enjoy medium rare..allow to cook in its own juices Or..
