Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Lightly grease a 2-litre (8-cup) shallow rectangular ovenproof dish. In a saucepan, combine milk, thyme, garlic and potato over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to moderate; simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes. Drain potato, reserving 1/3 cup milk mixture.

2.Place potato over base of prepared dish. Drizzle with reserved milk; sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 10 minutes or until potato is tender and cheese is golden brown.

3.Brush beef with oil. Preheat a large ovenproof frying pan over high heat. Add beef; cook 2 minutes each side or until browned. Place pan in oven; bake 10 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer beef to a heatproof plate. Cover with foil; rest 5 minutes.

4.Heat frying pan over moderate heat. Add wine and stock; simmer 5 minutes or until reduced slightly. Stir in parsley and butter; cook 2 minutes or until melted and combined. Remove from heat. Spoon potato onto serving plates. Top with beef and sauce. Serve with beans.

Use beef rump steak or lamb rump steak instead of beef fillet.
