ITV’s Britain’s Best Dish has certainly found its niche and following amongst celebrated chefs, and we were thrilled to see the judges give their overwhelming vote to Luigi Vespero, head chef at Galvin Bistrot de Luxe in London for his main course. Beef rossini ‘pot au feu’ took pride of place in the recent London heats programme, as he won the coveted place in the London Finals back in December.
The star focus and taking centre stage of this gastronomic delight was an Aubrey Allen fillet steak, prepared and cooked to perfection, and accompanied by freshly made tortellini, filled with foie gras.
Food and wine expert Jilly Goolden described it as ‘sublime’!
Chef and restaurateur Ed Bains said it was ‘beautiful’ and the best dish he’d ever tasted!
Chef John Burton Race was also overwhelmed by the fillet steak.
Aubrey Allen’s steak was definitely the unsung hero of the show and it put the dry-age beef to the test. But as suppliers to Galvin’s Bistro, not to mention lots of other Michelin star and fine dining restaurants in London and across the nation, it was no surprise to be such a great hit.
But the good news is that all chefs can prepare and cook the best of the very best when it comes to fillet steak or for that matter any meat, poultry and game just by visiting www.aubreyallenwholesale.co.uk for its online meat store providing direct deliveries to the door.
And if you’re interested in following in the footsteps of Luigi Vespero, here’s the winning recipe to produce the mother of all main dishes … so enjoy!
