Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Line a baking pan with high sides that will just hold the fillet without too much extra room. (the sides should be a little taller than the fillet) with parchment paper.
- Scatter some of the coarse salt in a thin layer on the parchment.
- Scatter with the rosemary and bay leaves and place the fillet on top.
- Add the remaining coarse salt on and around the fillet to hide it completely.
- Sprinkle with a few drops of waters and bake for about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mustard, salt to taste, and peppercorns.
- When the fillet is cooked, remove it from the pan and wipe off the salt with a paper towel or a clean dish towel.
- Thinly slice the beef and serve with a small amount of the sauce and a few whole peppercorns for garnish.
