Unforgettable fillet with creamy blue cheese sauce. THIS is the recipe you have to have when you want to WOW. Plus prep and cook time are 17 minutes, total!
Ingredients
- 450g fillet
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 50g blue cheese
- ½ cup crème fraiche (sour cream)
- ½ cup cream
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C
- In a medium saucepan, add a tablespoon butter and one tablespoon of oil. Turn the heat onto high.
- Brown the fillet quickly and by this I mean you really want to just seal and brown so literally just 30 seconds or less on each side.
- Place the meat in the oven for 10-12 minutes…or slightly longer if you like your meat well done.
- In the meantime, cook the onion on medium heat until soft and lightly browned.
- When the meat is ready, transfer it to the pan with the onion and simply add the cream, crème fraiche, blue cheese, salt and pepper. Using a fork, gently mix everything together, the cheese will start to melt and become a mouth-watering sauce.
Notes
I used my Le Creuset square skillet griddle pan to fry the meat and to cook in the oven (as it is cast iron). I cooked the onions in a separate pan and then transferred the onion to the griddle pan – this way the flavours of the meat contributed to the sauce.[br][br]I would therefore recommend, if you can, to fry the meat in a pan that can also go in the oven to create the same full flavours. If you don’t have a cast iron pan, just remember, once the meat has cooked, to pour all the juices out of the roasting dish and into the pan with the onions.
