Ingredients

  • 8 tbsp mixed peppercorns
  • 600 g beef fillet
  • Salt
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 ml balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 200 ml vegetable stock
  • 100 g Arugula
  • 100 g radishes

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Crush all peppercorns coarsely in a mortar and place them in a shallow bowl. Season the beef fillet with salt and press only its rounded top into the pepper mixture. Heat oil in a pan, sear the fillet on medium heat for 2 minutes around the edges. Roast the fillet in a preheated oven on the second rack from below at 200 °C (gas 3, convection not recommended) for 22–24 minutes. Remove the fillet, wrap it in foil and let rest for 5–10 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Cook balsamic vinegar and sugar over high heat for 5 minutes, add stock and simmer for another 8 minutes; aim for about 60 ml of sauce. Clean, rinse, and dry arugula. Wash radishes, trim, and halve or quarter them depending on size. Slice the fillet, arrange it on a plate, and serve with sauce, arugula, and radishes.
