RECIPE INGREDIENTS

For the Beef:

1 pound beef filet, trimmed

2 tablespoons walnut oil

For the Wine and Pear:

1 cup dry red wine

1 tablespoon grainy mustard

1/2 onion, chopped

1 small carrot, peeled and chopped

1 tablespoon red currant jelly

1 pear, peeled

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

DIRECTIONS

FOR THE BEEF:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Tie beef with string to secure the shape. Heat oil in a baking dish, add meat and cook in oven for 20 minutes for rare beef - 25-30 minutes for medium and 35 minutes for well done.

FOR THE WINE AND PEAR:
While the beef is cooking, pour the wine into the saucepan; add the mustard, onion, carrot, and red currant jelly. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; add pear and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until pear is tender.

TO SERVE:
Remove pear from wine, cut in half and place in oven to keep warm. Bring the wine back to a boil and boil rapidly for 3 minutes. Reduce heat, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove onion and carrot from sauce.

Slice the beef and arrange on a serving plate with pear halves. Spoon sauce onto the meat and pears, garnish with crumbled cheese.
