meThoD
Coat the beef fillet with coarse black pepper
and grill to your preference.
Cook the risotto with chopped red
onions, the white wine and then infuse with
the saffron.
To make the vanilla sauce, infuse the
vanilla bean in cream, add salt and coarse
black pepper. Let it reduce until it is of a
sauce consistency and the vanilla can be
tasted in the sauce.
The Pinotage sauce is made by
reducing the red wine with the chopped
onions then season with salt and coarse
black pepper.
Cook the asparagus in salted boiling
water and then sauté with butter and
season. Stir fry the mushroom together
with the spinach and cocktail tomatoes
and season.
Place the risotto on the plate and then
place the stir-fried mushroom and spinach
on the opposite sides of the risotto. Cut
the beef fillet into four medallions and
place two of each on the risotto and
mushroom respectively
Add the vanilla sauce on the medallions,
which is on the mushroom, and the Pinotage
on the one with the risotto. Finish with the
asparagus tips on top of the medallions.
