Fillet au Poivre with Truffle Oil Flavoured Mash
This fillet recipe has been part of my life since I started cooking and it is always lovely to prepare for guests. The truth is that it’s really easy to cook and one just needs to have enough confidence to brave the flames of the flambé process and to let the meat rest in between cooking steps. The beautiful fragrant Truffle Flavoured oil makes this a truly unique dish! Go ahead and try it. You will not be disappointed!
