Fillet Steak with Mushrooms is a recipe that takes only 20 minutes to cook but looks as if you spent hours. The red wine sauce takes a superb dish and makes it magnificent. Using the best cut, fillet, means the beef is soft, fall apart, melt in the mouth when cooked correctly. I often serve these with Boiled Potatoes with Herbs or Sweet Potato Wedges or for a full meal when entertaining guests. John’s Garlic Rice and Bravo Green Beans. This has been classified as Medium difficulty and when served with a glass of decent of Cabernet Sauvignon or if you prefer a lightly wine, a Merlot.
