Meatballs on beef fillets with tomato sauce
This week we bring gutsy "real man" food - meatballs with beef fillet and tomato sauce.
Serves 6.
INGREDIENTS:
• 6 x 85g fillet steaks
• 500g beef fillet, minced
• 6 tbsp milk
• Slice white bread, crust removed
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 3 tbsp grated parmesan
• 1 egg beaten
• Flour for dusting
• Oil to cook
• Butter to cook
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
For the tomato sauce:
• 4tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 800g tinned tomatoes
• 1 clove garlic crushed
• 110g tomato concasse (skinned, deseeded and roughly chopped)
• Pinch sugar
METHOD:
• Soak the bread in the milk. Squeeze out and add to the minced beef. Add onion, parsley, parmesan and egg and season. Shape, using flour, into small walnut sized balls – you should be able to make 18.
• Cook the meatballs in oil and butter along with the steaks.
• Meanwhile heat more oil, add the onions and tinned tomatoes. Add garlic and sugar and cook out. Add the tomato concasse and season.
• Put the fillets on plates. Put three meatballs on top of each then top with the sauce and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
