Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the mustard, minced garlic (2 cloves), and fresh thyme.
- Pat the fillet of beef dry with paper towels. Rub the mustard mixture evenly over the beef.
- Lay the prosciutto slices slightly overlapping on a cutting board. Place the seasoned beef on top and wrap the prosciutto around the fillet to cover it completely.
- Secure with kitchen twine if necessary.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil to the skillet if needed.
- Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the prosciutto is crispy and the beef is browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until an internal thermometer reads 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board, tented with foil, for at least 10 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the red wine, beef broth, cinnamon stick, minced garlic (2 cloves), allspice, orange zest, and brown sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
- Remove the cinnamon stick from the saucepan.
- Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Slice the beef fillet into thick slices.
- Drizzle the mulled wine gravy over the sliced beef.
- Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite sides.
Tips:
- Make sure to bring the beef to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Allow the beef to rest after cooking, this helps to retain its juices and keep it tender.
- Adjust the seasoning of the gravy according to your taste preference.
- Use fresh thyme rather than dried thyme for a more vibrant flavor.
- Deglaze the pan with red wine to capture all the delicious caramelized bits left from cooking the beef.
- Strain the gravy before serving if you prefer a smooth texture.
