GRILLED MARINATED BEEF FILLET WITH A TANGY SAUCE



Grilled Marinated Beef Fillet With a Tangy Sauce image

Marinated steak served on a bed of mash, topped with spinach and drizzled with a tangy sauce. I served mine on parsnip mash, but you can serve steak with whatever vegetable or potato you like, mine is only a serving suggestion. You can also use beef sirloin, rib-eye or rump steak instead of beef fillet.

Categories     Steak

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 steak fillets
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 -5 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons grainy mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules (I use quite a dense stock, so adjust for taste, with what you use.)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar (generous)
1 teaspoon cornflour
100 ml sour cream
pepper

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, oil and mustard's in storage container add steaks and marinate several hours or overnight.
  • Drain beef and reserve marinade. In a medium saucepan add stock, sugar and water to reserved marinade. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Mix a little water with cornflour and add to sauce, stir until mixture thickens. Keep warm over low heat stirring occasionally. If sauce seems to be getting too thick add a little more water, not to much though, as remember you still have to add the sour cream which will thin it out again.
  • Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over med high heat (or grill or BBQ) add the steaks and sear 1-2 minutes each side. Cook for a further 4-5 Min's a side for medium rare. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the meat. Remove steaks and allow to rest.
  • While the steak rests, turn up the heat on the sauce and whisk in sour cream (this will also blend in any mustard that is still a little lumpy.), add pepper to taste.
  • To serve: Place a few spoonfuls of desired mash in the centre of a plate, place steak on top and top with a mound of spinach, drizzle with sauce.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality beef fillet: Opt for grass-fed, organic beef fillet for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Experiment with different marinade recipes to infuse the beef fillet with your desired flavors. Common ingredients include olive oil, herbs, spices, garlic, and citrus.
  • Marinate the beef fillet properly: Allow the beef fillet to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor penetration.
  • Cook the beef fillet over high heat: Sear the beef fillet over high heat to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the desired doneness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the beef fillet to monitor its internal temperature. Remove the beef fillet from heat when it reaches the desired internal temperature.
  • Let the beef fillet rest before slicing: Allow the beef fillet to rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and juicy meat.

Conclusion:

Marinated beef fillet is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed on various occasions. With careful selection of ingredients, proper marination, and precise cooking techniques, you can create a succulent and flavorful beef fillet that will impress your family and friends.
