Fillet on the bone with whisky-cream mushrooms

Serves: 6

Cooking Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

6 long sprigs fresh rosemary
6 x 300g fillets on the bone
30ml (2 tbsp) coriander seeds
5ml (1 tsp) fresh thyme, chopped
5ml (1 tsp) black pepper, crushed
5ml (1 tsp) dark brown sugar
30ml (2 tbsp) soya sauce
45ml (3 tbsp) olive oil
75g butter
1 garlic clove, peeled and bruised
300g assorted mushrooms (shiitake, white button, oyster, shimeji)
300ml fresh cream
7,5ml (1½ tsp) beef stock concentrate
5ml (1 tsp) truffle oil
45ml (3 tbsp) whisky
30ml (2 tbsp) fresh parsley, chopped + extra, to garnish
herbed sea salt flakes, to serve

Instructions

Tie the rosemary onto each fillet with thin butcher’s string and place in a mixing bowl. Combine the coriander seeds, thyme, pepper, sugar, soya and olive oil and rub into the meat. Set aside at room temperature to marinate, 30 minutes.

Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic and mushrooms and sauté, 4 – 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the cream, beef stock concentrate, truffle oil and whisky and cook until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Heat a griddle- or frying pan until very hot and cook the beef fillets, 4 – 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and allow to rest, 10 minutes, before serving with the whisky-cream mushrooms. Garnish with the herbed sea salt flakes and parsley.
