This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or whenever you're craving a tasty, restaurant-quality meal at home. The tender beef fillets are infused with the rich flavors of red wine, rosemary, and garlic, while the crispy potatoes provide the perfect accompaniment.
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the red wine, chopped rosemary, and minced garlic.
- Add the beef fillets to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For best results, marinate for up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Cut them into thin wedges or slices as desired.
- Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. You may also line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time for even crisping.
- Once the potatoes are nearly done, remove the beef fillets from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
- Heat a grill pan or a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with the cooking spray oil.
- Add the beef fillets to the hot pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
- Let the steaks rest for a few minutes off the heat before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Arrange the crispy potatoes on plates and place a beef fillet alongside.
- Optionally, drizzle any leftover marinade (that has not been in contact with raw meat) over the steaks or use it to create a quick sauce by simmering it for a few minutes until it reduces and thickens.
With a few simple ingredients and some easy-to-follow steps, you can create a delicious and memorable meal. The red wine steaks are full of flavor, made even better by the aromatic rosemary and garlic.
