    To make the Rib Eye: Remove the string from the rolled rib eye and season the meat well. Place the stuffing in the centre and roll up tightly. Secure the roll with the butcher's string. Heat a large frying pan and drizzle with olive oil. Seal the meat on the fat side until golden. Place the sliced lemon, thyme and rosemary on the base of your Le Creuset 31cm Thyme Oval Casserole and place the meat directly on top of the herbs.

    Roast for 30 minutes, then cover the surface of the meat loosely with tin foil or baking paper and place it back in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and bake with the pan juices. Return to the oven covered with tin foil or baking paper and roast for 30-40 minutes for a Medium doneness. Allow the meat to rest. This step is crucial for redistributing the juices, ensuring a succulent and tender steak. Then, slice and serve with roasted baby potatoes and blanched green beans.
