Tour de France 2022 Stage 13; Le Bourg D’Oisans to Saint Etienne

Faux Fillet et Aligot

4 Sirloin Steaks (6cm thick)

1.5kg of Maris Pipers (peeled and diced)

5 cloves of garlic (peeled and crushed)

200g Tomme de l’Auvergne (Emmenthal makes a good substitute) (Grated)

Pepper

Salt

Butter

100ml cream

Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil, and add the potatoes and 3 cloves of garlic and boil for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile heat a griddle pan or barbecue.

Smother your steaks in butter and pepper, and seal for a minute on each side, and then cook for 4 – 5 mins each side and place on a board, cover in foil and leave to rest.

Drain the potatoes and add a nob of butter, seasoning, a fresh pressed garlic clove, cheese and cream. Cover for 2 minutes, and then mash until smooth and creamy. Cover.

Serve with a glass of Morgon; chilled if it’s as hot as current weather; at room temperature if not.
