  1. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Process mint, coriander, chilli, ginger, juice and oil in a food processor to form a paste, adding 1–2 teaspoons water if it becomes too thick.

Bake for 15–20 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover beef with foil and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
