Beef Poached in Red Wine
30 minutes
2 Serves
This recipe calls for a fair lug of wine, so it's important to use something good.
Ingredients
- 2 cups your favourite Taylors Shiraz
- 2 bay leaves
- A bunch of thyme
- 1 teaspoon peppercorns
- 1 fresh red chilli
- 2 x 200 g (7 oz) fillet steaks
- extra-virgin olive oil to serve
Method
- Place the wine, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and chilli in a saucepan along with 2 cups of water; simmer gently for about 15 minutes to allow the flavours to mingle and mature.
- Tie string around the beef fillets so they hold their shape as they cook. Immerse the beef in the simmering liquid. Make sure you keep the liquid at a simmer, or the meat will toughen. Cook for about 6 minutes for rare and 8\u20139 minutes for medium. Remove the beef from the liquid and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the fillets on plates and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and some of the cooking liquid. Serve hot with Mashed Potatoes alla Tobie and Green Vegetables, Braised.
