Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
2. Drop in the beans and cook for about five minutes.
3. Drain once cooked.
4. To make the marinade, mix the chopped onion in a bowl with the herbs, mustard, vinegar and four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the hot cooked beans and toss.
6. Put the mixture to one side and allow to cool.
7. Season the fillet all over with salt and pepper.
8. Strip the leaves from the thyme and chop them up roughly.
9. Sprinkle the thyme over the fillet.
10. Heat a heavy frying pan, add a splash of oil and make sure the oil is hot before frying the beef fillet for one minute only, turning it every few seconds to sear it.
11. Take the meat out of the frying pan and put it on to a plate to rest.
12. Using a sharp knife, slice the seared fillet as thin as possible. Lay two or three slices on a plate and season again.
