devilled fillet steaks

Calories per serving 336

Serves 4

Preparation time 10 minutes

Cooking time 10 minutes

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 fillet steaks, about 175 g (6 oz) each

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

75 ml (3 fl oz) full-bodied red wine

4 tablespoons beef stock

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds

1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato purée

½ teaspoon crushed dried chillies

salt and pepper

To garnish

chopped flat leaf parsley

wild rocket leaves (optional)

Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan until smoking hot. Add the steaks and cook over a very high heat for about 2–3 minutes on each side, if you want your steaks to be medium rare, 4–5 minutes for medium and 6–7 minutes for well done. Remove to a plate, season with salt and pepper and keep warm in a low oven.

Pour the vinegar, wine and stock into the pan and boil for 30 seconds, scraping any sediment from the base of the pan. Add the garlic and fennel seeds and whisk in the sun-dried tomato purée and crushed chillies. Bring the sauce to the boil and boil fast to reduce until syrupy.

Transfer the steaks to warmed serving plates, pouring any collected meat juices into the sauce. Return the sauce to the boil, then season with salt and pepper.

Pour the sauce over the steaks and serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and wild rocket leaves, if liked. Slice the steaks before serving, if you wish.

For devilled chicken breasts, heat the oil and use to cook 4 skinned chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side. Leaving the chicken in the pan, follow the recipe as for Devilled fillet steaks, replacing the beef stock with 4 tablespoons chicken stock and using ½ teaspoon dried oregano instead of the fennel seeds.
