Fillet Steak with red wine sauce

Fillet steak with red wine Jus is always a winner. Just make sure the fillet steak is good quality from a good source and to use a fairly good red wine. Serve it up with some boiled or hassleback potatoes and some steamed green veg. After making this we decided to remake it over the weekend for 2 friends we had round. Although we were a bit drunk it still went down a treat again and we all had a lovely evening.
