Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh thyme. Mix well to form a marinade.
- Place the beef fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the beef is well coated.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible, to let the flavors infuse.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
- Once the oil is hot, sear the marinated beef fillet on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the beef for about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium).
- While the beef is roasting, melt the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced wild mushrooms and sauté until they are tender and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the beef broth to the skillet and deglaze, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let this simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vinegar-mustard mixture.
- Add the finely chopped chives and mix well to combine.
- Once the beef fillet is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
- After resting, slice the beef fillet into thick slices.
- Place the beef fillet slices on a serving platter.
- Spoon the wild mushroom vinaigrette over the top of the beef or serve it on the side.
- Garnish with additional fresh chives if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality cut of beef fillet to ensure tenderness and flavor.
- Let the beef fillet come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Be mindful of the cooking temperature; searing the beef on high heat will give it a nice crust while keeping the inside juicy.
- Cook the mushrooms just until they release their moisture and become tender to maintain their earthy flavor.
- Whisk the vinaigrette thoroughly to properly combine the oil, vinegar, and mustard for a smooth, flavorful sauce.
- Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
- Garnish the dish with fresh chives for a burst of color and a mild onion flavor that complements the dish well.
