Ingredients
Beef Fillets with Green Pepper Sauce and Duchess Potatoes
- For the duchess potatoes
- 750 grams starchy potatoes
- 50 grams butter
- 2 egg yolks
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- freshly grated Nutmeg
- 2 Tbsps melted butter
- vegetable oil (to grease baking sheet)
- For the vegetables
- 12 Baby carrots
- 300 grams green Beans
- For the beef fillets and sauce
- 600 grams Beef fillet (center cut, ready to cook)
- 30 grams clarified butter
- 2 Tbsps green peppers (from a jar)
- 300 milliliters Whipped cream
- 30 grams butter
For the duchess potatoes, preheat oven to 220°C (approximately 425°F). Peel potatoes and boil in salted water until done, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes, press through a potato ricer and mix in butter and egg yolks. Season potatoes with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Using a pastry bag with a large star tip, pipe potatoes into rosettes on a greased baking sheet. Brush rosettes with melted butter and bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
For the vegetables, peel carrots, blanch in boiling salted water about 7 minutes and drain well. Rinse and trim green beans, blanch in boiling salted water about 5 minutes and drain well. For the beef fillets, rinse meat, pat dry, trim if necessary and cut into 8 equal pieces. Season beef with salt and pepper and sear on all sides in hot butter.
Remove beef from pan, wrap in aluminum foil and let rest. For the green pepper sauce, stir green peppers and cream into pan and simmer gently over medium heat 5-10 minutes. Season to taste. Melt butter in another pan, stir in carrots and green beans and season with salt and pepper. To serve, divide beef among 4 warmed plates and drizzle with green pepper sauce. Serve with duchess potatoes and vegetables.
