How-to-videos
Method
  1. Tip the flour into a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on one side of the flour and the salt into the other side of the flour. Add the sugar, butter, egg and milk, then mix all the ingredients together to form a soft dough.

  2. Turn the mixture out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until soft, smooth and stretchy.

  3. Lightly grease a large bowl with oil. Place the dough in the oiled bowl, cover and leave to prove for about one hour, or until doubled in size.

  4. Dust the work surface with a mixture of the semolina/polenta and flour. Tip the dough out onto the work surface and roll out to about 2.5cm thick.

  5. Lightly dust two baking trays with half of the semolina or polenta.

  6. Using a 9cm/3½oz straight-sided cutter, cut out eight muffins. Place four muffins, evenly spaced apart on each of the dusted baking trays. Dust the remaining semolina or polenta over the top of the muffins.

  7. Leave to prove for another 30 minutes.

  8. Preheat the hot plate or a heavy-based frying pan on the hob to a very low heat. Griddle the muffins for approximately 5-6 minutes, then flip over and griddle for another 5-6 minutes on the other side.

]Jas I must say looks delicious, we never cooked fillet but will try sometime ty :)
I cooked it for Christmas and it was delicious. Cooking time was longer though and the gravy was to die for.
You could also use chicken breasts too.
 
This is my version of Beef Stroganov.

Adjust quantities to suit serving numbers. I'm quoting a meal for 2. I also have no idea about imperial measures so you will have to do the conversions yourself. :)
1 steak about 500grams
1 onion - large
2-3 large or 5-6 medium mushrooms
500ml fresh creme

Cooking time, 30 mins

I start with a nice piece of rump or porterhouse steak, cut up into small pieces then marinate with Worcestershire sauce for an hour in the fridge.
Finely chop white onions and fresh mushrooms.
Warm a fry-pan to about 180C and add the steak and left-over marinade. Turn it frequently for a minute or two to brown and seal it.
Reduce the heat to about 140C, add the onions and mushrooms, stir in well then cover with a lid for about 30 minutes and stir occasionally, checking it isn't drying out. Add a little water if it is.
At 20 minutes, start the pasta cooking, I use fettuccine. I allow 8 mins so it ends up a bit 'aldente'

With 2 minutes to go, remove the lid, increase the heat back to 180C and add the creme.

Stir in well till creme starts to bubble then serve on a bed of pasta.

This serves two.
