Fresh parsley finely chopped mixed with thyme or rosemary for garnish
For red cabbage
50g butter
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
400g red cabbage, thinly sliced
100ml water (or as needed)
50ml sweet red wine such as commandaria
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 piece star anise
mixed spices,
1 tablespoon strawberry jam
Defrost the meat completely and remove the packaging.
Place the fillets on a plate with paper towels and draw out excess liquids.
Remove the kitchen paper and season them well.
Prepare the remaining ingredients.
Heat half a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Add the onion, salt and sauté until wilted.
Add the fillets and brown them on each side.
When browned, add the brandy and light carefully with a lighter.
Then add the wine, vinegar and pear. Let the sauce decrease to 3/4.
To glaze the sauce, add a spoonful of unsalted butter and turn up the heat until the sauce is glazed (to become like syrup). At the same time, season the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
When the meat rests, serve with the sauce, garnish with the balsamic glaze and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley mixed with thyme or rosemary.
For the red cabbage, put all the ingredients except the jam in a saucepan and mix well. Cover with a lid.
Lower the heat and let the cabbage soften (about 15 minutes). Stir occasionally and check if there is enough liquid.
After the cabbage softens, remove the lid and add the jam. Let the liquids evaporate.
Serve with mashed potato.
