Some time ago I noticed some recipe cards in Migros that you can take with you. I chose the one for the beef fillet with red wine balsamic sauce.
Surprisingly, even the cooking times are correct. Most recipe creators find it very difficult to provide information on low temperatures.
But who on earth invented this sauce? 3 dl red wine and 1 dl balsamic vinegar!
1. the balsamic vinegar shown is nothing special, you can also use what you already have at home
2. it naturally turns so sour that you have to sweeten it somehow!
The inexperienced person will probably have to use sugar. Thanks to my experience of cooking with balsamic vinegar, I refined the sauce with about 1 teaspoon of honey! THAT was exactly what it needed!
Dear Migros, if you're going to offer recipes, then please only offer ones that "verhebed". It's just a shame if you don't have a good sauce to go with such a delicious meat.
And for anyone who wants to cook this too: I have omitted the butter and used a really small splash of cream. Start carefully with the honey. You might need a little more. But it was heavenly like this! Exactly how it looked on the recipe picture on the card :-D

Until now, I only knew recipe cards from Coop.
The fact that Migros is now imitating this is new to me.
I haven't seen them yet either. However, I wouldn't take them with me either, because with recipes like this there are systematically ingredients on the list that I would then have to buy separately and that I wouldn't be able to do anything with afterwards.
We had some of these cards. It says something about Migusto. But I took them away a few weeks ago. Couldn't even tell if there were any new ones.
It's fine that there are products listed. But it could also backfire if a customer, like me, finds out that the expensive balsamic vinegar is no better than the cheap one.
@FredericaExactlythis recipe. Wouldn't have thought to look for it online.
So anyone who wants to cook this: It will be really tender as butter. And if done exactly, totally sour. But the Migros people should just cook it exactly like this :-D
I only knew recipe cards like this from Coop. I haven't seen them in Migros yet, but I'll keep an eye out for them next time.
Hello globinli
Thank you for your feedback. It's a shame that our recipe was apparently not good. All the better that you had a suggestion for improvement yourself.
I will be happy to pass this on internally. We are very grateful for such customer feedback.
Best regards,
Silvia
Sali globinli,
The recipe managers have thanked you for your feedback. However, they would like to mention that it depends very much on the vinegar. If the vinegar has matured for a certain amount of time so that it contains a lot of sugar, the tip is correct.
Best regards, Silvia

Thank you very much for the clarification! I know that there is very fine and also quite sweet balsamic vinegar, but you would have to add that. I bought the balsamic vinegar that was pictured on the menu. As soon as I tasted it, I noticed that it wasn't much different from the one I already have.
Of course, if your chefs use the very fine and extremely rich balsamic vinegar, then it might work ;-) That would be the balsamic vinegar that is also very fine over vanilla ice cream.
But that's not what the recipe says.
Hello @globinli,
You can post comments and reviews on the website with the recipe. You would be read by more directly affected people there than here (and can refer to this thread).
