Peel all the vegetables, put them into a large casserole dish, cover with water, season with salt and pepper, add the bouquet garni and cloves. Bring to the boil, leave to simmer for 20 minutes, skimming regularly. Cut the fillet into 4 equal-sized pieces, place a bay leaf and a sprig of fresh thyme on each piece, tie up each piece with string then use the string to tie each piece to the handle of a large wooden spoon. 5 minutes before serving, dip the pieces of meat into the simmering stock by placing the wooden spoon on the casserole dish. Cook for 5 minutes. Season the meat with salt and pepper then serve immediately with the cooked vegetables drizzled with a little stock.
