Spit-roasted fillet

30 minutes

Spit-roasted fillet is a classic dish of European cuisine that embodies simplicity and sophistication. Historically, this method of cooking meat originated in medieval Europe when hunters roasted their game on spits over coals. Beef tenderloin, roasted without excessive processing, reveals its natural flavor enhanced by the spice of black pepper and a delicate creamy note of butter. During roasting, the meat develops an appetizing crust and juicy texture. Serving it with tomatoes, onions, and lemon creates a harmony of freshness and richness. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy meal outdoors when one wants to enjoy the pure taste of quality meat and its natural aroma.
