1 center-cut fillet of beef, about 1 3/4 pounds, well trimmed and tied
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 cup dry red wine

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The beef was tough and the red wine sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The beef was a little dry for my taste, but the red wine sauce was excellent. I would recommend using a more tender cut of beef.

The beef was a little overcooked for my taste, but the red wine sauce was excellent. I would recommend cooking the beef for a shorter amount of time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beef turned out perfectly cooked. The red wine sauce was also very good, but I added a little extra garlic to give it a bit more flavor.
