What to do with this fillet?

[UTH]

For me and Mrs UTH, any ideas what to do with it?

It seems a bit too small to cut into steaks, which is what I'd probably usually do. I can use the oven, hob, BBQ.....so I have options in terms of cooking apparatus but right now I'm a bit stuck for ideas. Not sure I want to go the full hog and do something like a Wellington.....

Tournedos.

But probably you won't have the time to fart about with a beef gravy, so I'd suggest a good sear, then slice for Tiger Cry Thai beef salad.

Carpaccio might also work. The Anchor in Ripley serves this with mustardy celeriac remoulade and walnuts. It's sensational.

Cut in to strips and make a Beef Stroganoff. Yum

It's a bit of effort, but it's so worth it! I like this recipe https://www.gordonramsay.com/gr/recipes/beef-welli...

Haha, yeah I don't doubt it, sadly that's just not gonna happen on a working Wednesday.

That's what I would do I soak in a drop of brandy too prior to cooking.

Buy some fish fingers for tonight and cook it at the weekend.

Now I really fancy a wellington but don't have any fillet

How about a japanese style tataki beef?

Off to a wedding followed by Ibiza this Friday, so time isn't on our side either!

Like the sound of Japanese style though, I shall look that up

I agree, a decent cream and mushroom sauce, bit of beef stock with plenty of cognac (my preference), lots of paprika and some good quality wild rice.

This, although I'd be happy with it seared and sliced with a good tomato and shallot salad and some greens.

and some beansprouts, a splash of rice wine and a splash of rice wine vinegar and then garnish with some chopped corriander. Not forgetting garlic with the chillis, and also some green pepper.

It might sound like a waste of beef fillet, but it really isn't.
