Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

Marinade

2/3 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
a 2 1/2- to 3-pound fillet of beef, trimmed and tied

Preparation

  1. Make marinade:

    Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    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.

    Step 3

    Prepare grill.

    Step 4

    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°F. to 135°F. 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°F. oven approximately the same amount of time.) Transfer fillet to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.

  3. Step 5

    Slice fillet and serve with vinaigrette.
