Beef filet Voronoff
==================== 2021-04-03


Comment: Beef fillet with mustard cream sauce. You can lightly pass the fillets in the flour, on the one hand to thicken the sauce once the cooking is finished, and on the other hand to "cook" the flour to avoid the flour taste. Remember that the meat will cook a little more when it is returned in the sauce to reheat. You can flambé the meat before putting it aside to prepare the sauce, or you put the meat aside and deglaze the pan with cognac before making the sauce. This is the method I used.
