In Provence, it was customary to cook meat with the abundant ingredients they had. These included tomatoes, garlic, onions, olives, thyme, parsley, lemon, olive oil, mushrooms, and occasionally anchovies. Let's explore a classic dish with bon filet. Bon filet is a tender and boneless cut of meat from the beef tenderloin.
Ingredients:
Season the meat with salt and pepper and lightly coat it with flour. In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and lightly saute the meat. Then, transfer it to a platter. In the same pan, saute the onion, peppers, garlic, and cherry tomatoes. Let them cook slightly, and then add the meat, olives, and anchovies (if using), and deglaze with white wine.
Allow the sauce to thicken, and just before the end, add a tablespoon of butter to make the sauce richer and more delicate.
Serve with mashed potatoes, eggplant puree, thick pasta, or roasted potatoes and vegetables.
