CONS

Fillet of beef is an expensive and decadent cut of meat which may not fit everyone’s budget and dietary preferences.

The cooking time and internal temperature should be monitored closely to avoid overcooking and drying out the meat.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a good source of protein and essential nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12, and zinc.
The mushrooms in the sauce provide additional health benefits, as they are a good source of antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. Madeira wine is also rich in antioxidants, but should be consumed in moderation due to its alcohol content.
