Fillet Steak

Griddled Fillet Steak is definitely a dinner worth filling the flat with smoke for. Fillet is an expensive cut, so it is a very rare occasion when I buy it and knowing that I am careful not to waste it, I get the griddle hot and smoking before meticulously timing for a medium cooked steak. A shake of salt, a grind of pepper and a short rest later, I'm ready to eat.
Traditionally I would have chips with a steak, but instead I opt for mushroom and thyme lentils from Merchant Gourmet and those robust greens that I shred and steam.
The steak is beautifully juicy, almost velvety in a way that only fillet steak can be, which complements the lentils and of course a glass of red wine.
