Wine selections and suggestions

Sparkling and full bodied dry whites are an excellent match with white mould cheeses such as Camembert or Brie.

Full bodied dry reds or fortified wines also make good accompaniments, however we encourage you to experiment with other wines to discover your own tastes

and mustard cress, served with
red current jus

125g Unicorn Brie
180g beef fillet portion
¼ cup mustard cress
50ml extra virgin olive oil
75mls red wine
Salt & pepper

*You can use your favourite sauce instead of red wine jus if preferred

Place a cut through the middle of the steak portion and insert the cheese and cress. Season with salt, pepper and olive oil, cook in a hot frypan on all sides until desired degree of doneness. A medium cooked steak will take approximately 15 minutes.

Rest steak in a warm place for 10 minutes before serving. To serve, slice steak in half to show filling and place neatly on a hot plate, glaze with sauce and serve.
