A dish to celebrate high quality beef – healthy and delicious!
Ingredients
- salt and black pepper

- olive oil
- ½ a small red onion, peeled and very finely chopped

- 1½ tbsp white wine vinegar
- extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
- Drop in the beans and cook for about five minutes.
- Drain once cooked.
- To make the marinade, mix the chopped onion in a bowl with the herbs, mustard, vinegar and four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the hot cooked beans and toss.
- Put the mixture to one side and allow to cool.
- Season the fillet all over with salt and pepper.
- Strip the leaves from the thyme and chop them up roughly.

- 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.
- Take the meat out of the frying pan and put it on to a plate to rest.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the seared fillet as thin as possible. Lay two or three slices on a plate and season again.
