Roasted fillet steak
Here is a delicious recipe to prepare your fillet steak:
- Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon rosemary, some thyme leaves and black pepper and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar in a bowl to form a marinade
- Rub the marinade over a 2kg whole fillet steak (trimmed). Let it marinade in the fridge for 2 hours
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. When the pan is hot, sear the fillet 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until browned
- Place the meat in a shallow roasting pan, add remaining oil and 3 sliced red onions around the meat. Roast 20 minutes for rare, 25 for medium-rare, or 50 minutes if you want it well done
- About 10 minutes before desired cooking time, add 400g sliced mushrooms
- When done, remove the steak from the oven dish and cover it with aluminium foil to keep it warm (let it rest for 15 minutes before carving)
- Place the roasting pan with onions and mushrooms on the stove, heat and add 1 cup of red wine or beef stock to create a sauce. Stir in all loose bits of meat or onions on the bottom of the pan (also known as fond). Simmer the sauce until reduced by half
- Add the steak to the sauce, carve it in slices and serve
