Preparation |
| Season the fennel with salt and pepper and 3 Tb olive oil and roast in a 400 degree oven 30 minutes. Remove fennel, let cool, and julienne.
In a hot sauté pan sear the filet mignon on both sides leaving the temperature below rare. Remove the filet and add the fennel, garlic and swiss chard. Cook until the swiss chard is tender. Add the red wine and let simmer for 1 minute. Add the demi glace and the pasta and let simmer for five minutes. Put the filet in the oven to finish cooking to desired temperature. Let the beef rest, then slice and place on top of pasta. Enjoy. |
