Beef Eye Fillet With Mustard Crush Potatoes
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
-
500g cocktail potatoes
-
1 beef eye fillet, membrane removed and sliced into 3-4cm thick medallions
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
70g butter, diced
-
2 garlic cloves
-
5 springs thyme
-
2 sprigs rosemary
-
1 brown onion, finely sliced
-
1 bunch Tuscan kale, stems removed and leaves finely chopped
-
½ cup thickened cream
-
2 tbsp seeded mustard
Method
-
Remove the beef from the fridge at least one hour before cooking.
-
Place the potatoes on a pot and cover with salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soften, approximately 20 minutes, drain well and set aside.
-
Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
-
Bring a large frying pan to medium high heat, drizzle olive oil and sear the medallions for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. (do not overcrowd the pan, preferable to doit in baches depending on how many you are cooking).
-
Add the butter, garlic and herbs to the pan and once the butter has melted, baste the steaks with a spoon for 1-2 minutes, remove from the pan and allowed to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
-
Using the same pan, sauté the onions for 3 minutes. Add the Tuscan kale and cook for 2 minutes.
-
Add the cream and the mustard, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and lightly crush them using a potato masher, just to slightly break the potatoes. Stir through to combined and cook for 5 minutes on low heat until the cream thickens.
-
Serve potatoes with the beef medallions, drizzle with the resting pan juices and serve warm.
