Eye fillet beef with horseradish cream

INGREDIENTS
1kg beef fillet 1 teaspoon olive oil
2-3 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup (250mL) sour cream
2 tablespoons horseradish cream

PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC.

2. Crush the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle (I just stood in the kitchen 'freshly grinding' until I had enough). Mix the pepper with sea salt and place on a sheet of plastic wrap.

3. Coat the beef fillet with the oil and roll in pepper and salt mixture until well covered. Heat a large ovenproof non-stick frypan over a high heat and seal beef on all sides; this takes 2-3 minutes. Transfer pan to oven and roast for 15 minutes for rare, 25 for medium. Cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes.

4. Combine the sour cream with horseradish (use more if you prefer a hotter dressing) and warm in the microwave for 30 seconds.

5. Slice the fillet thickly and arrange on a large platter, place a teaspoon of horseradish cream on each slice.

NOTES
Substitute the horseradish cream for your favourite sauce, e.g. a simple gravy, or creamy mushroom.
If you don't have an ovenproof frypan, seal the beef in a frypan and transfer to a lightly oiled baking tray.

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western   island   of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
