Chef Maurizio's tagliata di filetto di manzo al rosmarino

Ingredients (serves four):

700 g fillet of beef

3 tablespoons extra virgin Tuscan olive oil (or any other olive oil you have)

A sprig of rosemary and one bay leaf

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

Seal the meat by pan frying it very quickly – set aside and allow to cool.

Slice the fillet (into 0.5cm slices) and put into a flame-proof ceramic dish.

Pour half the oil into the dish.

Cut the rosemary with scissors directly into the dish.

Add the bay leaf.

Season with salt and pepper.

Pour the remaining olive oil and cook directly over a high flame for 20 to 25 seconds only.

Steam your choice of vegetables as side dishes (e.g baby potatoes, green beans and sugar snap peas), and season with olive oil and parsley.

Serve immediately. Buon appetito!
