1 kg beef fillet, trimmed and tied
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp coffee rub
500ml prepared beef stock
250ml red wine
½ tsp spicy chilli flakes or chilli seasoning
100g decadent hot chocolate
80ml cream (optional)
1 tbsp thyme or rosemary, finely chopped
Sea salt and black pepper, to season
Place the beef stock, red wine and Spicy Chilli in a saucepan and allow to simmer until reduced by half. Whisk in the chocolate and continue stirring until the chocolate has melted and the sauce is thickened and glossy. Add the cream and the rosemary and season to taste.
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C. Cut the fillet into 4 neat medallions. Combine the olive oil and Coffee Rub and rub into the medallions. Pan-fry the fillet in an oven-proof pan over medium heat on all sides until nicely browned and caramelized all over. Place the pan in the pre-heated oven for 5 -10 minutes or until cooked to your preference (5 minutes for medium-rare). Serve on heated plates, drizzled with chilli chocolate sauce and garnished with fresh thyme and a pinch of salt.
