Filet Of Beef With Madeira Sauce

Recipe Ingredients

4 lbs	1816g / 64oz	Filet of beef
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
1 teaspoon	5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Salt
1 cup	237ml	Sercial Madeira
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Beef broth
2 teaspoons	10ml	Arrowroot - dissolved in
1 tablespoon	15ml	Water
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chopped parsley

Recipe Instructions

Sprinkle the filet with salt and pepper. To a heated pan add the oil, salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides. Place into a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the meat thermometer registers 120 to 125 degrees (for rare). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, covered loosely with foil.

Make the sauce while the beef is resting. Pour off the fat from the pan, add the Madeira, and boil it, scraping up the brown bits, until it is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Add the broth and boil the mixture, stirring for 1 minute. Stir the arrowroot mixture, add it to the skillet, whisking, and simmer the sauce, whisking, for 1 minute.

Slice the filet and transfer to a platter. Spoon sauce around the meat and serve the remaining sauce separately. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
