1 Beef Fillet, About 4 ?/td>
Pounds
1/2 cupRed Wine
1/4 cupOil
1/4 cupOnion, MInced
1 tbspHerbes de Provence Or Other
Herb Blend
MUSHROOM SAUCE
2 tbspButter Or Margarine
2 tbspOnion, Minced
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
8 ozFresh Mushrooms, Cleaned
And Sliced
1 tspMeat Glaze (Bovril), OR
1 tspBroth Seasoning Mix
Reserved Marinade For Fillet
Red Wine Or Beef Broth, If
Needed
Procedures:
1Buy a prime grade fillet, if possible, and trim it well.
2Fold and tie the tail to the meat to form a roast of uniform thickness (or have the butcher do it for you).
3Place the meat in a plastic bag.
4Mix the wine, oil, onion, and herbs, blending well.
5Pour over the meat, close the bag tightly, and turn it to coat the meat with the marinade.
6Place the bag in a dish and marinate the meat for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
7Drain the meat, reserving the marinade.
8Grill the meat 4 inches above hot coals, turning to brown on all sides.
9This takes about 10 minutes of undivided attention so you can put out any flash fires.
10Add damp hickory chips or small hickory sticks.
11Move the meat to the edge of the grill or cover the grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes longer for rare, 20 to 25 minutes for medium rare.
12Slice and serve with the mushroom sauce.
13Mushroom sauce: in a medium skillet, melt the butter and add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is tender but not browned.
14Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring gently now and then, until well saturated with the butter and most of the juices cooked from the mushrooms have evaporated.
15Stir in the meat glaze.
16Add the reserved marinade and, if needed, a few tablespoons of wine or broth to make a light sauce.
17Serve with the grilled fillet
