Trim the beef fillet, roll and secure with

the thin end and tie, so the fillet is more
or less uniformly thick. Season with salt
and pepper.
Heat the clarified butter in the large
frying pan/Gourmet oven dish on the
hob on a high heat.
Sear the meat on all sides, then place
on the universal tray and put it into the
pre-heated oven.
Add the beef stock and Madeira to the
meat juices in the frying pan/Gourmet
oven dish and bring to the boil. Mix the
