Fillet Steak With Red Currant Sauce

• olive oil
• 800 g beef, eye fillet (kept as a whole not cut into individual steaks)
• Red Currant Sauce
• 30 g butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 200 g sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 2 teaspoons green peppercorns
• 1/2 teaspoon beef stock powder (I use quite a dense stock so adjust for what you use and personal taste)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons red currant jelly
• 1 1/2 tablespoons port wine
• 25 g butter, extra

1. Tie beef several times, at different intervals with kitchen string so it maintains shape during cooking.
2. Heat oil in a pan add beef, cook over medium high heat until well browned all over.
3. Remove and transfer to oven dish, bake uncovered in moderately hot oven (190-200u0b0C approx) for 20 minutes for medium rare or until desired doneness.
4. Red Currant Sauce.
5. Heat butter in pan add onion and garlic, cook a couple of minutes, add mushrooms and cook until onions and mushrooms are soft.
6. Add peppercorns and wine, simmer uncovered, 2-3 minutes.
7. Add jelly, stock powder and port stir until jelly has dissolved, simmer for a further 4 Min's or until mixture has thickened slightly.
8. Whisk in extra butter over a low heat.
9. I serve mine with parsnip mash in pastry shells with salad and berry dressing.
