The Rolls Royce of Beef

I's a red meat lover, would prefer meat anyday over fish and chicken. I think my husband too and with Ramadan everything is either meat or chicken and rarely seafood. Sundays I generally like to cook 'akhalwaya' style but Saturday I was invited for iftar at a friends. She specifically told me not to bring anything and its my day off, but I can't sit idle and neither could the fillet in my freezer. So I took that out to defrost thinking of what I can make for Sunday so I'm prepared in advance. The thing about Ramadan is you think you can eat alot when you break fast, but at iftar you can't even half of what you have prepared. Since its only hubby and I, I sliced the fillet where it makes 'V' just enough for us. Baby potatoes and mushroom are perfect with it. I did not use exact measurements because my fillet was small, the bigger the fillet the more spices you need to add.
