Preparation

Making the salt crust dough

• mix with your hands al the ingedrients for the dough in a large bowl
• knead first in the bowl then finish kneading on your work surface
• let the dough rest for 3 hours and cover it with a towel

TIP: the dough will be dry but that's perfectly normal because of the lots of salt. It's the salt that will flavour your meat as it cooks.

Making the filet pur

• briefly fry the filet pur in a pan with a mixture of olive oil and butter
• remove the meat from the pan when a crust has formed, the meat is centrainly not done yet because it will go on the fire later on
• let the meat rest and cool off
• carefully roll out the dough to a thickness of 0,5 cm 
• pack the meat completely with the dough, do it carefully because the dough breaks easily and make sure everything is nicely closed
• cook the meat in the BBQ or in the oven at 220°C for 35 minutes

Making the choron sauce

• sauté the shallot in butter and add the tomato concasse and tomato paste - then set aside
• let the butter melt and clarify over low heat
• beat the egg yolks ogether with the gastrique well, do this next to the fire, not on it
• place the beaten egg yolks over low heat and add the clarified butter, whisking constantly
• once your sauce is thick, mix in the herbs and the tomato mixture
