[world_famous_recipes] Beef Fillet with Creamy Horseradish Spinach

Beef Fillet with Creamy Horseradish Spinach

Ingredients

600g/1lb 5oz beef fillet
½ bottle red table wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah
1 tsp black peppercorns
¼ bunch thyme
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tbsp instant beef gravy granules
300ml/10½fl oz water, just boiled
For the Spinach
500ml/17fl oz double cream
500g/1lb bag of spinach, blanched and thoroughly dried
4 tbsp creamed horseradish

Method

1. Roll the fillet tightly in cling film so you have a firmly rounded
slab. Slice into four equal medallions.
2. Combine the red wine, peppercorns, thyme, and whole garlic cloves in
a saucepan and bring to the boil. Boil rapidly for about 10-15 minutes,
reducing the mixture by half.
3. Combine the gravy granules with the boiled water and stir until you
get a gravy consistency. Pour this into the red wine - this will be your
poaching gravy.
4. Bring the gravy back to the boil, on a medium-low heat, then add your
beef medallions. Poach for 7-8 minutes for medium, 5-6 for rare.
5. While the beef is poaching make the creamed spinach. Pour the cream
into a saucepan and reduce by half on a medium heat. Add the horseradish
cream to the cream and stir until smooth and thick.
6. Make sure your spinach is completely dry and add to the cream
mixture. The creamy spinach should by thick and easily hold together,
not at all runny.
7. Press the spinach mixture on a plate with beef fillet and drizzle on
the gravy.
8. Serve
