Main course recipe :
All steps of side dish must be done before
main course (baking time 1h15) ; start to prepare main course once
the gratin is in the oven...
1- Peel and mince the onions ;
cut the filet mignon in 3 to 4 sections.
2- In a non-stick stewpot, medium flame, heat the oil and brown
the onions in for 15 minutes (turn regularly with a wooden spoon).
3- Brown the meat in the onions for 5 minutes with salt and pepper,
then pour the wine, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 30 minutes
; turn from time to time.
4- Serve each of your guest cutting slices from the meat sections.
Side dish recipe :
A - Grate the swiss cheese. Peel the potatoes and cut them
into
thin slices (with the slicer side of your grater or electric mixer)
; display them in an oven dish by layers, add salt and pepper
each time one layer is completed ; spread as well a pinch of grated
nutmeg and some grated cheese every other layer. Once all
slices
are displayed, pour the single cream in the dish ; it needs to cover
exactly all potatoes ; complete with a little milk if it is not
the case (leave the extra cream if you have too much).
B- Spread the left cheese (1/3) on top of
the potatoes ; bake the whole in (pre-heated) oven at 200°C
/ 400°F for about 1h15. The gratin must be golden brown and
the cream should be totally absorbed by the potatoes.
TRICK : verify that the potatoes are cooked
by pricking them with the tip of a knife which must penetrate softly
and easily.
TRICK : if you
do not have a grater or electric mixer to slice the potatoes, use
a peeler...
