THE PERFECT ROAST FILLET OF BEEF



The perfect roast fillet of beef image

How to cook The perfect roast fillet of beef. Rather brazen, but when supported with a gutsy Cabernet Sauvignon, it holds course, effortlessly. This year marks the 21st birthday of FAT Bastard Wines and to celebrate the occasion, excellent food and exquisite wines are requisite. I love cooking with wine. Often times, the difference between a good and potentially great dish, is a reckless splash of vino. It adds a polished flavour that encourages thoughtful mulling over and appreciation. When invited by FAT Bastard Wines to develop a fillet recipe to pair with their sassy Cabernet Sauvignon, initially, I wasn't as excited as I would've been with say, a Chenin Blanc. That said, tasting this Cab dispelled any misgivings I might've had over supporting the reds. Overflowing with unadulterated joy, this elegant red dame embodies a well-defined structure with balanced tannins and acidity. It's made from carefully selected grapes with the aim of producing a wine with pure fruit character. All fruit is hand harvested at optimum ripeness and gently pressed to retain aroma and flavour. The wine is aged in small oak barrels, which adds greater weight and complexity. It's unapologetically intense aromas of blackcurrant and brambly wild fruit lead promisingly to rich flavours of ripe cassis and chocolate with a hint of earthiness. When I read, cassis and chocolate, I knew we were going to get on famously. With these well-chiselled characteristics in mind, the obvious pairing was a buttery soft, beef fillet. In pursuit of the perfect fillet There are two key players in this recipe. Grass fed beef with visible marbling and, an elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. The fat content of red meat denotes flavour and acts as an internal baster, so a little marbling is what you're after. As far as cooking with wine is concerned, if you're not sufficiently impressed with drinking it, don't relegate it to your food. Beef fillet is very receptive to imbuing. To this end, I start with browning the fillet in the pan. Deep caramelisation brings out the natural sugars and forms a flavourful crust. From there it's into the oven. Surrounding heat ensures even cooking and here, personal preference will dictate the cooking times. Now comes the interesting part. Deglazing the pan with our Cabernet Sauvignon. All those gnarly bits on the base of the pan, are marmite-y and completely delicious. This step alone will take your red wine sauce to the next level. Once reduced, I add butter for a velvety-smooth finish. To flatter the beef even further, I serve it with a creamy roast garlic and horseradish crème fraîche. Expect guttural appreciation.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

olive oil, for roasting
1 kg grass-fed beef fillet
30ml (2 tablespoons) Dijon mustard
5ml (1 teaspoon) freshly cracked black pepper
1 stem rosemary, de-stalked and finely chopped
Maldon sea salt flakes, to season
2 shallots or 1 small brown onion, roughly chopped
Red wine sauce
350ml FAT Bastard Cabernet Sauvignon
125ml (1/2 cup) weak beef stock
3 tablespoons cold butter
Roast garlic horseradish cream
1 fat clove garlic, wrapped in foil
250g (1 cup) Crème fraîche
30ml (2 tablespoons) horseradish cream
15ml (1 tablespoon) lemon juice
2 stems fennel, roughly chopped
pinch of sea salt flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200º C. Pat the beef fillet dry with kitchen towel. Tie the tenderloin with butchers string at 3cm spacings. Rub the Dijon mustard over the fillet, coating well on all sides. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and rosemary. Heat an oven-proof pan until hot. Drizzle the fillet with olive oil and brown for 2 minutes per side. (About 4 turns in total) Add the shallots and garlic clove to the pan and transfer to the oven. For medium-rare, roast uncovered for 23 minutes. Remove the fillet from the pan, cover loosely with a foil and rest while you finish the sauce. Remove the garlic and set aside. Place the pan on the hob, deglaze with the wine and stock. Boil hard to reduce by two thirds. Strain the sauce and discard the solids. Turn the heat off and add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking to incorporate. Once the sauce is glossy, remove from the heat and keep warm. To make the horseradish cream, press the roast garlic into a bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. To serve, drizzle the red wine sauce over the fillet and serve with dollops of Horseradish Crème fraîche.

FILLET OF BEEF



Fillet of beef image

In this wonderfully extravagant showstopper the earthy porcini go hand-in-hand with the garlic, thyme and butter to really kiss the meat as it cooks, creating a flavour-packed meltingly tender treat. Wrapping the fillet in a parcel of prosciutto not only protects it, but also seasons it to perfection as it cooks. Double win!

Categories     Beef Recipes     Beef     Steak     Potato     Pork     Mushroom

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 kg centre fillet of beef, trimmed
20 g dried porcini mushrooms
1 large bulb of garlic
50 g unsalted butter
½ a lemon
olive oil
10 large slices of higher-welfare prosciutto, or Parma ham
4 sprigs of fresh rosemary
4 sprigs of fresh thyme
250 ml red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF/gas 7.
  • Get the meat out of the fridge and leave to come up to room temperature before you cook it. Cover the porcini with 300ml of boiling water and leave to rehydrate for 5 minutes.
  • Peel and finely chop 2 of the garlic cloves, then place in a large frying pan on a high heat with a knob of the butter. Add the porcini and half the soaking liquor, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until thick and syrupy.
  • Squeeze in the lemon juice, stir in the remaining butter, and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Leave to cool slightly.
  • Drizzle the beef with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with black pepper. Sear in a sturdy roasting tray over a medium heat on the hob until browned all over, then remove from the heat.
  • Lay out the slices of prosciutto on a large piece of greaseproof paper, overlapping them slightly, making a sheet big enough to wrap around the fillet.
  • Spread the mushroom mixture lengthways over one half of the prosciutto, then sit the beef on top. Carefully roll up, tuck in the ends, then discard the paper. Secure with butcher's string.
  • Squash the remaining unpeeled garlic cloves and put into the roasting tray with the herbs, then carefully place the beef on top. Cook in the oven for 25 minutes for rare, 30 to 35 minutes for medium, or 40 minutes for well done.
  • When the time's up, remove the meat to a board to rest for 5 minutes, pouring any juices back into the tray.
  • Transfer the tray to a medium-high heat on the hob, pour in the wine and the remaining porcini soaking liquor (discarding just the last gritty bit) and simmer to your desired consistency, scraping up all the goodness from the bottom of the tray.
  • Remove from the heat, and sieve before serving, if you like - I also like to whisk in an extra knob of butter for maximum silkiness.
  • Carve up the beef and serve drizzled with the red wine sauce - delicious with celeriac and potato mash, and steamed greens.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1.2kg prime beef fillet (in one piece, cut from the thick end)
Sea salt and black pepper
2tbsp olive oil
Few handfuls of wild rocket leaves

  • Lightly oil the hot roasting pan. Transfer the beef to the roasting pan and place it in the oven. Roast for 25 mins for medium rare beef - it should feel a little springy when lightly pressed. Transfer the fillet to a warm platter and leave to rest for 10 mins.
  • Serve the beef warm or at room temperature. Slice it thickly and overlap the slices on a serving platter. Pile the rocket into the centre. Stir the chopped herbs into the tomato tarragon dressing and spoon over the beef. Accompany with new potatoes if you like.

COFFEE-ROASTED FILLET OF BEEF



Coffee-Roasted Fillet of Beef image

Just when I think all my recipe snipping and gluing and saving has been for naught, something turns me around. Take this coffee-roasted beef with mushrooms and pasilla chili broth. I couldn't imagine why I had ever cut it out - so busy, so restauranty. But I tried it, soaking chilies in one corner, shiitakes in another, coating the beef with ground coffee and roasting it. Stacking was involved in the plating. I brought the admittedly gorgeous dishes to the table with a cynically arched brow. It was heavenly. And my faith was restored.

Provided by Julie Powell

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 dried pasilla chilies
1 6-inch white-corn tortilla
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups chopped white onion
4 large cloves garlic
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon light-brown sugar
3 tablespoons medium-roast coffee beans, finely ground
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 2-pound beef tenderloin roast, cut from the large end, trimmed and tied at 1/2 -inch intervals with kitchen twine
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
Sprigs of watercress

Steps:

  • Seed, stem and cut the chilies into pieces. Tear the tortilla into pieces. Set both aside. In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chilies and tortilla and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and then simmer, partly covered, for 10 minutes. In a blender, purée the hot mixture until smooth. Pour through a fine sieve set over a saucepan, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids. Whisk in the cream, 1 teaspoon salt and the brown sugar. Season to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. Pat the beef dry and rub with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; then rub with oil. Sprinkle the coffee mixture over a sheet of wax paper and coat the beef in it. Place the beef on a rack set in a roasting pan and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Roast the beef for 10 minutes; then lower the temperature to 250 and cook for an hour more, or until the meat reaches 130 degrees. Let stand, loosely covered with foil, for 10 minutes. (The meat will continue to cook, reaching about 135 degrees.)
  • Bring the broth to a boil and simmer until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Cover and keep warm.
  • In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the twine and cut the beef into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon just enough broth to cover the bottoms of 4 to 6 shallow, wide soup bowls. Add 2 to 3 slices of beef, spoon more broth over the beef if desired and top with mushrooms and watercress.

OVEN-ROASTED FILLET OF BEEF



Oven-Roasted Fillet of Beef image

Real Simple Magazine December 2004/January 2005. When it comes to entertaining, beef tenderloin is always a perfect answer to most menu questions. What to serve at the party? Beef cocktail sandwiches. What to serve at a brunch? Sliced beef with a savory sweet potato galette. What to serve for a holiday dinner? Classic fillet with bernaise sauce. No matter who's at the table - boss, relative, friend - a roasted fillet of beef can be dressed up or down to suite the occasion. The little black dress of meats, it's always classic and practically foolproof. Beef tenderloin is best served rare - 130 degrees F on a meat thermometer. When buying a fillet, request it trimmed and tied. If you have to tie it yourself, tuck a few inches of the thinnest end of the fillet under, then wrap it with butcher's twine at 2-inch intervals.
