How to Cook Fillet Steaks in Madeira Sauce (Simple Tournedos Rossini)
- Wash and finely chop the mushrooms. Melt half the butter in a pan, add the mushrooms and fry gently until golden. Transfer to a heatproof dish, slice the pate into 1" (2.5cm) rounds and add to the dish. Spoon over half the Madeira and season with salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste. Place over a pan of hot water to heat through gently.
- Season the steaks with salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste. Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan (skillet) add the steaks and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Place the tournedos on a serving plate, spoon chopped mushroom over each then top with a slice of pâté. Spoon some sauce over and serve immediately with Braised Leeks and Potato Gratin.

The classic Tournedos Rossini (Fillet Steaks in Madeira Sauce) requires the steak to be cooked rare (and I admit, this is the way I like it). If, however, you MUST cook your meat further, increase the cooking time to about 3-4 minutes on each side. Anything more than this and you'll be eating hard, chewy meat for the next week!!
Reviews of Fillet Steaks in Madeira Sauce (Simple Tournedos Rossini)
![]() I actually wanted to do a Tournedos Rossini (which you have a very good recipe for) but getting hold of raw foie gras was a problem, and price was also an issue. This recipe actually made a great alternative (particularly since I added a bit of port and brandy to the sauce to "tone it up" a bit!). Husband loved it (I was doing it for his birthday) and I confess, it wasn't half bad! I'll certainly do this again when the occasion arises. fiestysally (1 review) |

What To Eat Tonight

The main course is often the easiest to plan but, when entertaining, what do you use as a starter course? Here are some great choices.

Chicken breasts are thought by some people as being dry yet, properly prepared and cooked, nothing could be further from the truth.

Hall of Fame is a very rare accolade that we offer only to the ultimate recipes that deliver something very special. Not many make it!
Other Beef Recipes

Often you can use a stoch cube, but a really good Beef Stock can easily be made and any extra frozen for next time.

Ah, the humble Steak and Kidney Pie; what can I say about it that has not already been said? I'm a big fan of these hearty English favourites.

Lots of "Street Cred" for these delicious Streetwise Spicy Beef Pasties. With a hint of spicy paprika, chilli pepper and curried egg wash.
