Preparation time: 60–120 minutes
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
1 whole fillet of beef (1500–1800 g)
2 tbsp. clarified butter
Salt
Pepper
Sauce
800 ml beef stock
100 ml Port
40 ml Madeira
2 tbsp. cornflour
Salt
Pepper
Sugar
Accessories
Large frying pan/Gourmet oven dish
Universal tray
Aluminium foil
Preparation
Wash the beef fillet and tie up with
kitchen twine. Tie the thick end of the
fillet tightly, tuck in approx. 10 cm at
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
cooktop on a high heat.
Sear the meat on all sides in the pan/
Gourmet oven dish, place on the grilling
and roasting insert placed over the
universal tray and put it into the pre-
heated oven.
Add the beef stock and Madeira to the
meat juices in the pan/Gourmet oven
dish, transfer to a saucepan and bring
to the boil. Mix the Port and cornflour to
a smooth paste, add to the meat juices
and bring back to the boil. Season with
salt, pepper and sugar.
Once cooked, wrap the fillet in
aluminium foil and allow to rest for
10 minutes before carving.
