Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 center cut-fillet of beef, well trimmed and tied, about 2 pounds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups thinly sliced chanterelles, morelles, shiitake or any wild mushroom
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup Madeira wine
1/2 cup reduced fresh chicken broth
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Brush the meat with oil. Sprinkle on all sides with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the fillet in a small, shallow roasting pan, and place the pan on the bottom rack of the oven for about 25 minutes for rare. Turn and baste once or twice as it roasts.
  • Transfer the meat to a warm platter, cover loosely with foil, and keep warm.
  • Pour off most of the fat from the pan. Place on top of the stove. Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste. Cook stirring over medium heat until lightly browned. Add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the Madeira. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom, until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add the broth, tomato paste and tarragon and any juices that may have accumulated around the fillet. Cook over high heat for a few minutes until the sauce is reduced to 1 1/4 cups. Swirl in the butter and remove from heat. Keep warm.
  • Transfer the fillet to a warm serving platter, slice it on the diagonal, and serve with the sauce.

This recipe was a disaster! The beef was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Overall, this was a solid recipe. The beef was tender and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found the dish to be a bit too salty for my taste.

The recipe was missing some key instructions. I had to guess at a few things, which resulted in a less-than-perfect dish.

The beef was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was phenomenal. I'll try again next time and cook the beef for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a keeper! The beef turned out perfectly medium-rare, just the way I like it. The sauce was also a hit. It was creamy and packed with umami flavor.

I've tried many beef recipes before, but this one takes the cake. The wild mushroom sauce was a game-changer. It added a depth of flavor that I've never experienced in a beef dish before.
