  • Then take the beef fillet out of the pan, add the shallots to the pan and fry in it. Now sprinkle the sugar over it and lightly caramelize the shallots.
  • Deglaze with port and red wine. Add beef broth and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Now cook the beef fillet in the oven on the middle rack for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Now pluck the herb leaves and chop finely.
  • Take the cooked fillet out of the oven and roll it in the chopped herbs. Then wrap it in foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Potato gratin:

  • Peel and finely dice the garlic cloves, then froth the butter in a pan and add the garlic cubes. Now sauté for 2 minutes without color.
  • Now brush a flat gratin dish with the garlic butter and wash the potatoes thoroughly in a bowl, drain well and peel. Then cut or slice the potatoes thinly and spread them flat in the form in a fan-like manner.
  • Now put the milk and whipped cream in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Season the cream mixture very vigorously with nutmeg and pepper.
  • Then pour the hot cream mixture evenly over the potatoes, grate the Emmental finely and sprinkle evenly on the potato slices.
  • Bake the gratin in the oven preheated to 180 ° C on the middle shelf for 50-60 minutes.

Asparagus:

  • Peel the green asparagus only at the ends and then do not boil it in water as usual, but fry it in the olive oil.
  • Then season with salt and pepper and fry the asparagus until it has got some color.
