Impress even the toughest critics with this filet mignon recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 12 thin slices prosciutto
  • 6 (3cm-thick and about 150g each) beef fillet medallions
  • 3 heads garlic
  • 3 large (about 160g each) sebago (washed) potatoes, unpeeled, trimmed lengthways and halved lengthways
  • Salt
  • 875ml (3 1/2 cups) beef style liquid stock
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) water
  • 40.00 ml green peppercorns in brine, drained, chopped
  • 3 bunches English spinach, ends trimmed, washed
Instructions:
  • Wrap each succulent beef medallion with 2 perfectly thin prosciutto slices and fasten with toothpicks to seal in flavors.
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C. Place one oven shelf in the second top position and another shelf in the center of the oven.
  • Wrap each head of garlic in foil. Combine potatoes, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a roasting pan, tossing until well-coated. Add the wrapped garlic and bake on the top shelf of a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • In a non-stick frying pan over high heat, heat 2 teaspoons of oil. Sear half of the beef medallions for 1 minute on each side until well browned. Transfer to a baking tray and repeat the process with the remaining oil and beef medallions.
  • Place the potatoes on the center shelf and the beef medallions on the top shelf. Bake for 20 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time to reach your preferred doneness.
  • After turning off the oven, carefully take out the beef and cover it loosely with foil to rest for 10 minutes. Leave the potatoes in the oven to stay warm.
  • For the broth, in a saucepan, combine stock, water, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add spinach and cook covered for 2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt.
  • To serve, layer spinach in deep plates followed by potatoes. Arrange beef on top, remove toothpicks, and place garlic halves alongside. Drizzle each plate with 125ml of broth. Serve promptly.
