Beef fillet with red wine sauce image

Luxuriously tender meat, soaked in a herby, garlicky marinade makes for a mouthwatering main course, fit for a feast

Provided by Marcus Wareing

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1.3kg well-aged beef fillet
50ml vegetable oil
100g unsalted butter , cubed
200ml olive oil
½ small pack thyme , leaves picked and roughly chopped
3 rosemary sprigs, leaves picked and roughly chopped
1 whole garlic bulb , top third cut off and discarded
250ml port
500ml red wine
1 tbsp vegetable oil
140g beef scraps (ask your butcher for these) or braising steak, chopped
4 shallots , sliced
2 garlic cloves , bashed
12 white peppercorns
¼ small pack thyme
1 bay leaf
1l beef stock

Steps:

  • Put the beef in a container just big enough to fit snugly. Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl and tip over the beef. Cover and chill, turning and basting as often as possible. Leave for 24-72 hrs.
  • Pour the Port and wine into a large pan and simmer until reduced to a glaze. - this will take about 20 mins. Heat the oil in a separate large pan and, when almost smoking, add the beef scraps and cook until dark golden. Add the shallots, garlic, peppercorns and herbs. Fry for a few mins until starting to brown, then add the reduced alcohol and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 mins. Strain into a clean pan, then simmer for 8-10 mins until thickened. Season to taste and chill until needed.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the fillet from the marinade and brush off the herbs, reserving them and the garlic for later. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan. When almost smoking, add the fillet, season with 2 tsp salt and fry for 5-7 mins, turning every so often.
  • Add the butter, cube by cube, and - when foaming - baste the fillet, turning regularly. When the fillet is caramelised, put in a roasting tin with the reserved herbs and garlic, and cook in the oven for 8-12 mins, turning every 4 mins and basting. To check that the beef is done, insert a probe thermometer into the centre - it should read 55-60C for medium rare. Transfer to a board, wrap loosely in foil and rest for 20 mins.
  • Return the tin to the oven until the butter is hot. Before serving, roll the fillet in it. Serve with the sauce, croquettes, carrots and garlic.
