Grilled fillet of beef with tomato ginger vinaigrette

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
⅓ cup Olive oil
3 Garlic cloves; chopped fine
2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Finely grated peeled fresh gingerroot
2 teaspoons Soy sauce
2 teaspoons Coriander seeds; crushed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon Dried hot red pepper flakes
1½ pounds Fillet of beef; trimmed and tied

Directions

FOR MARINADE

Make marinade:

In a large jar with a tight-fitting lid combine marinade ingredients with salt and pepper to taste and shake until combined well.

In a large resealable plastic bag combine fillet with marinade and seal bag, pressing out as much air as possible. Turn bag several times to coat fillet with marinade and put in a shallow dish or bowl. Marinate fillet, chilled, turning bag every few hours, at least 8 hours or overnight. Let fillet stand at room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.

Prepare grill or grill pan.

Grill fillet on an oiled rack set about 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning every 5 minutes to evenly sear all sides, until it registers 130 to 135 degrees on a meat thermometer, about 25 to 30 minutes, for medium-rare.

(Alternatively, fillet may be roasted in an oiled roasting pan in a preheated 500 degree oven, or grilled on a grill pan for approximately the same amount of time.) Transfer fillet to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
