bring to the boil.
Cook until the sauce thickens, adjust the salt and pepper and
set aside.
In the meantime, prepare the flavouring to be brushed on the
fillet during cooking: in a small pan, melt the butter, mustard
and garlic. Cook over a low heat until the butter melts. Keep
warm.
Insert the grill plate at the lower and the griddle one at the
upper and position the grill in CONTACT GRILL mode. Adjust
the lower thermostat dial to 240°C and the upper dial to
240°C.

Brush the fillets with the flavouring on both sides, then when
SEAR stops flashing on the display, place them on the lower
plate and close the grill. Cook for 6-8 min. according to taste
and the thickness of the fillets. When cooked, remove the
fillets and serve covered with the mushroom sauce prepared
previously.

When READY is displayed, place the sliced onions flavoured
with the olive oil and sugar on the lower plate and cook
