You can never go wrong with filet. This is a reimagining of the classic green peppercorn sauce, but I hope I've modified it just enough not to be accused of being a '90s nostalgic. Perhaps one of the simplest and quickest recipes I've ever made, but believe me, it's excellent and quite impressive
1 -
Place a skillet, preferably non-stick, on high heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Once it's heated (it should almost reach the smoking point), add the fillets
2 -
Let them cook on high heat for just a few minutes until they form a crust, then flip them over. Once they are cooked, remove them and keep them warm
Tip:
As far as I'm concerned, the fillet must be served rare. Without a professional kitchen flame, the trick is to cook them right after taking them out of the fridge; the cold in the center will help prevent overcooking, but be careful not to serve them cold either
3 -
In the same skillet where the fillets were cooked, add the pink peppercorns, a bit of salt, and the cream, then bring it to a boil
4 -
Once it comes to a boil, add the rum and, tilting the pan, ignite the vapors (the classic flambé). As soon as the flame goes out, the cream will be ready
5 -
Plate it by covering the fillet with the rum cream and a bit of pink peppercorn for decoration
Tip:
I never salt the fillet during cooking. Remember to have salt on the table if someone wants to add it after cutting the meat. If you have flakes, it's perfect
Cost
Unfortunately, the raw material is expensive, undoubtedly one of the most costly cuts of beef. Each portion, although generous, comes to around ten euros
Health
The fillet is a lean cut, but the cream adds richness to the dish. Don't overdo it with the sauce, and you can indulge in seconds
