Cut the beef tenderloin from the center cut, ensuring to get the best piece.

Season the beef with a little traditional kitchen salt and black pepper.

Heat a cast iron skillet until hot, then add butter and a little grapeseed oil to prevent burning.

Once the butter is sizzling, add the beef to the skillet, ensuring it sears without moisture escaping.

Occasionally baste the beef with the melted butter to ensure even coloring.

Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest on a rack.

Season the beef again while it's warm to allow the salt and pepper to absorb.

Place the beef in the oven at 160 degrees Celsius for a minute to finish cooking.

Finish with a little fleur de sel for flavor and a crispy salt texture.

Garnish with a sprig of watercress and a spoonful of meon steak beans.
