Preparation

How to prepare Beef fillet with porcini mushrooms and truffle

To prepare the filet with porcini and truffle, thoroughly clean the porcini mushrooms, then slice them horizontally 1. In a non-stick skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and sauté two crushed garlic cloves until golden 2, then add the porcini mushrooms and cook them over medium heat for 7-8 minutes 3.

Season with salt and pepper 4; as soon as the mushrooms have softened, add the chopped parsley 5, mix well, and turn off the heat. Finally, grate a few truffle shavings 6,

cover everything with a lid and set it aside 7. Now, focus on the meat: tie kitchen twine around each beef fillet to maintain its shape during cooking 8, then drizzle a bit of oil into a non-stick skillet 9,

where you'll sear the meat 10. The fillets should cook for about 5 minutes on each side over high heat (use tongs or a fork to turn them) 11. Season the fillets with a pinch of salt around halfway through cooking. When the meat is done, garnish with a sprinkle of truffle 12.

Now that the fillets are ready 13, start plating: take a serving platter and place some pre-washed and trimmed watercress on it, then lay the fillets on top and arrange the porcini mushrooms on the side 14. Finish it all with a generous grating of truffle 15: your fillet with porcini and truffle is ready to be served at the table!

We recommend consuming the filet with porcini and truffle immediately, but if you wish, you can store it for up to one day, sealed in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator.

Tips

If desired, you can deglaze the fillets and/or mushrooms with white wine during cooking.

If you don't prefer your meat rare, you can extend the cooking time for the fillets.
