1.
Wash the meat, pat dry, remove any outer sinew if present. Mix oil with 1 tsp ground pepper and rub all over the fillet; cover and refrigerate overnight. Rinse the morels in a sieve, drain well, discard stems, then soak them in 350 ml water. Heat clarified butter, sear the fillet on all sides at moderate heat, season with salt. Transfer to a preheated oven (220 °C, second rack from bottom) and roast for about 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
