Beef fillet with red peppercorns and mushrooms
December 14, 2012 in Beef, Meat, Supper
I love fillet steak, but it is very expensive. In Cape Town you can easily pay R200 per kilogram. If you have a family like mine who eats large portions of meat, it becomes very expensive to buy beef fillet.
I went to Malmesbury, recently, to fetch my son’s ID book and one of the butcheries was selling beef fillet for less than half the price that we pay in Cape Town. Of course I had to stock up.
Some people say that fillet is tasteless, but I love it. My favourite way of cooking fillet can be found here or try this beef fillet and radicchio salad.
I just love the simplicity of this recipe! Just remember that red peppercorns are very hot!

I’d need to find a substitute for the peppercorns. A recent piri piri steak was too hot for my tastes. I have only just got to the stage of liking English mustard.

Hey Zirkie! You need to give me the name of that butchery. I also need to go collect my passport from Malmesbury.
