3. Remove the filet from the pan or grill and glaze with the habanero honey.
4. Serve with the Roasted Curried Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts and rice.
TO PREPARE THE GARAM MASALA:
1. Heat a heavy-duty cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the spices, except for the ginger, nutmeg and turmeric.
2. Stir the spices frequently in the pan and toast until they become fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and cool for 5–10 minutes.
4. Remove the cardamom pods from the spices and remove the seeds. Discard the skins. Place the seeds with the other toasted spices.
5. Place the toasted spices in a spice grinder with the ginger, nutmeg and turmeric. Grind to a fine mix.
6. Place the spices in an airtight container and store in a cool place.

4. Place the tray of vegetables in a preheated 400°F oven for approximately 20–25 minutes. Stir after 15 minutes.
5. Roast the vegetables to a golden brown.
6. Remove the pan from the oven and blend in the chopped cilantro.
