Searing the Beef
Sear beef fillets on high heat for 2 minutes per side to form a golden crust. Let it cool before proceeding to keep the beef tender.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Prepare the carrots by peeling and cutting them into uniform pieces. Toss them with a little olive oil and salt.
3
Glaze the carrots by tossing them with the honey, ensuring they are well coated, and then roast the carrots in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they start to caramelize and become tender.
