In a bowl or using a mortar and pestle, combine the 500 g room temperature butter, 3/4 cup olive oil, 6-8 crushed garlic cloves, finely chopped rosemary, finely chopped thyme, and 1 1/2 tablespoons crushed peppercorns. Mix until a smooth paste forms.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Toss the cut vegetables with the remaining marinade and season with salt. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a roasting pan. Roast for 40 minutes, stirring once halfway through. If the vegetables are browning too quickly, cover them loosely with foil. For extra crispiness, you can turn on the broiler for the last 5 minutes.

While the vegetables are roasting, heat a very hot pan over high heat. Add a small amount of butter and olive oil. Sear the beef fillet for 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Add extra fresh rosemary, thyme, and garlic to the pan and continuously baste the beef with the pan juices during searing.

Bake the beef in the preheated oven according to your desired doneness: 15 minutes for rare, 20-25 minutes for medium, or 30-35 minutes for well done. Reduce cooking time if your beef fillet is under 2.5 kg.
