Another of nigella's beef with anchovies recipes, this one with red wine, garlic and thyme. This recipe makes enough for 8 people. I made it just for 1!
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 30g butter in a casserole dish or heavy baking tin.
- Add 8 finely chopped shallots and a little salt and gently fry for 5 mins until soft.
- Then add a few sprigs of thyme and 8 cloves of garlic, just peeled and squashed.
- After 2 mins, add 12 anchovy fillets and cook on a low heat, until they've fused with everything else.
- Remove this mixture, turn up the heat, and sear 2 x 750g fillets of beef, sprinkling with 2 teaspoons sugar as you do.
- Add 4 tablespoons brandy, let it bubble up and then add 300ml red wine.
- Return the shallot mixture to the pan, turn the beef in it, reduce the heat, cover and cook for 10 mins.
- Check it and give it another 5-10 mins if necessary, then remove from the pan.
- Turn up the heat to bubble up a bit, add 30g butter and use as a sauce for the beef.
