Baked Moroccan Beef Fillet with chermoula paste ticks every box

Baked Moroccan Beef Fillet with chermoula paste
Rest for 10 minutes before serving



Beef Fillet Moroccan style received the  seal of approval re the heart foundation's  and for weight watchers.
This chermoula paste would also be great with chicken or fish. I love the way the chermoula acts as a sauce so the accompaniments can be simple.
For chilli lovers, serve with a drizzle of harrisa.
