Beef Consomme with Cilantro

In a stockpot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the sake and simmer gently. Slice the filet in half lengthwise and lay the open side down on a cutting board. Cut evenly on the diagonal into slices 1/4 inch thick.

Add the beef to the broth, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute. Adjust for seasoning, adding salt and pepper, if desired.

Add the cilantro, stir gently once or twice to combine and serve.
