Dark chocolate and gorgonzola beef fillet
How to make dark chocolate and gorgonzola beef fillet
INGREDIENTS:
- 250g beef fillet
- 10g leeks finely sliced
- 25g roasted cashews
- 25g grated dark Lindt chocolate
- For the mashed potatoes:
- 250g potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 15ml hot milk
- 15ml butter
- 50g onions, chopped
- 30ml oil
- For gorgonzola sauce:
- 50g gorgonzola
- 15ml parsley, chopped
- 15ml pouring cream
METHOD:
For the mashed potatoes: Boil potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain and mash with the milk and butter, then season to taste.
Fry the onions and oil on a slow heat until almost burnt with a caramelised flavour and mix with the potatoes.
For the gorgonzola sauce: Melt the cheese, cream and parsley in a saucepan.
For the meat: Slice the fillet in half and season before cooking.
Flash-fry it on either side for about two minutes for rare to medium rare. Let the fillet rest for two minutes.
Heat 2cm oil in a saucepan.
Fry the finely sliced leeks very quickly so they turn golden brown and crispy - this will take only a few seconds.
Drain on a paper towel.
To plate, place two spoons of hot mash on the plate. Top each spoon of mash with a piece of fillet, then pour over the sauce and garnish with grated dark chocolate, roasted cashews and crispy leeks.
