Tournedos Rossini
Report
Tournedos Rossini, an elegant dinner party idea. Perfectly cooked fillet steak, topped with rich pâté served with a delicious red wine jus. What could be better? Delicious, easy to make and looks dead posh ;-)

Ingredients
- 4 x 180g/7oz fillet steaks
- salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 115 g /4oz butter (split into about 3 cubes)
- 1 onion
- 100 ml /3fl oz port (see notes)
- 200 ml /7fl oz red wine
- 250 ml /9fl oz beef stock
- 175 g /6oz pâté
Instructions
- Remove the beef from the fridge about 15 minutes before you want to start cooking.
- Place a large frying pan over a high heat and let it get searingly hot. Add the oil.
- Season the steak with salt and then sear each side of the beef until you have a wonderful crust.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 2 minute a side.
- Then add a knob of the butter and cook for a further minute (2 if you want it closer to medium) (see notes)
- Remove the steak and set aside on a plate tented with foil.
- Place the pan back on the heat and add in another knob of the butter.
- Cut the onion in half, but leave on the skin and place the onion into the pan, cut side down.
- Leave the onion to cook until it is very crispy and blackened on the bottom.
- Remove it from the pan and pour in the port. Let it sizzle and deglaze the pan.
- Add the red wine and stock then cook until it is well reduced (about half).
- Whilst it is reducing carefully spread the pâté over the steaks.
- Once the sauce has reduced whisk in the remaining butter and carefully side the steaks and any collected juices back into the pan.
Notes
- If you don't have port then use extra red wine.
- The time the steak needs to cook will depend on the thickness. If you have very thick steaks add a minute each side to the cooking time.
