Instructions
1
For the sorbet, purée the tomatoes with skin, seeds and all, in a blender. Add the tomato juice, salt, pepper, Tabasco, sugar, lemon juice and zest.
2
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream churner and churn. If you do not have a churner, place the mixture in a container and freeze.
3
To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients and mix well.
4
Trim the fillet and place it in a freezer bag. Add the marinade to the bag and leave it to stand for 4 – 6 hours.
5
Remove the fillet from the marinade and roll in plastic wrap before freezing. This makes it easier to slice.
6
To serve, slice the fillet thinly and serve with a scoop of sorbet, and a crispy baby leaf salad.
