Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
4 Irish Beef Fillets
200g mixed wild mushrooms
8 baby beetroots
6 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar (divided)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 garlic clove (whole, for beetroot)
1 garlic clove (for pistou)
Sea salt and black pepper
1 bunch fresh basil
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
1 knob butter
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Scrub the baby beetroots under cold running water to remove any soil.
  3. Place the beetroots, thyme, whole garlic clove, and a pinch of sea salt on a large sheet of foil, then wrap tightly.
  4. Roast the beetroots for about 20 minutes or until tender, then set aside to cool.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized pan over high heat.
  6. Slice the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces, then add them to the hot pan.
  7. Season the mushrooms with salt and black pepper, sauté for 3 minutes, and set aside.
  8. In a small blender, combine basil, parsley, minced garlic clove, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.
  9. Blitz the pistou dressing ingredients until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Remove the beef fillets from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
  11. Season the fillets with salt and pepper, and lightly coat them with olive oil.
  12. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat until smoking hot.
  13. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side, then add a knob of butter to the pan.
  14. Baste the steaks with the butter while cooking for an additional minute on each side to enhance flavor and color.
  15. Cook the steaks to your desired doneness:
    • Rare: 3-4 minutes
    • Medium-rare: 5-6 minutes
    • Medium: 6-8 minutes
    • Well done: about 10 minutes
  16. Remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest on a cooling tray for 10 minutes.
  17. Plate the fillets with the roasted beetroots and sautéed mushrooms, then drizzle the pistou dressing over the top.
