Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef fillet with sea salt and black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Prep the Vegetables

    Wash and trim the asparagus. Peel and cut the carrots into small batons. Wash the baby potatoes and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce Base

    Finely chop the shallots and set aside. In a saucepan, combine red wine, beef stock, chopped shallots, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 15 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Beef

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef fillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Add butter and thyme sprigs, basting the beef for 2 more minutes.

  2. 5

    Blanch the Vegetables

    In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the asparagus and carrots for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove and plunge them into ice water to stop cooking.

  3. 6

    Cook Baby Potatoes

    In the same pot, add baby potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

  4. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove the bay leaf from the sauce mixture and whisk in cornstarch to thicken. Simmer for 5 more minutes until it reaches desired consistency.

Plating

  1. 8

    Serve the Dish

    Slice the beef fillet and arrange it on a plate. Add the blanched vegetables and baby potatoes on the side. Drizzle the red wine sauce over the beef and serve immediately.
