BEEF FILLET STEAKS WITH PEPPER THYME SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large frying pan, cook beef on both sides, until cooked as desired. Transfer to a warm oven to keep warm.

• Heat remaining oil in same pan, add celery, onion and garlic, cook, stirring until vegetables soften.
• Add wine; stir until liquid is reduced by half, add cream, peppercorns and stock, bring to the boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 5 Min's or until sauce thickens slightly. Stir in thyme leaves, serve immediately over steak.
• I served mine over celeriac mash and a carrot casserole as a side but serve with your favourite veg and potato.
