Easy Grilled Fillet Steak Recipe

When I visited the butcher in Lesce (nr Bled, Slovenia) this marinated beef caught my eye. The butcher explained that it was filet steak that had been marinated for a long time in oil, rosemary and bayleaf. It looked fantastic, cost a small fortune but turned out to be the easiest grilled fillet steak recipe under the sun – and the best!

Because the steak is marinated and fully submerged in the oil, it can be left refrigerated for may days without fear of going off and this is the essence of the tender result.

Ingredients:-

• 6 Steak filets cut 1 inch thick into 6 oz steaks
• Sunflower oil
• 3 Bay leaves
• 1 sprig of thyme

Method:-

Place the steaks in a bowl and fully submerge in the oil. Throw in the herbs and keep cool for 3 or 4 days (you can do longer if you want but I think this is the minimum to get the tender result that you are looking for).

Seriously hot coals are required followed by a generous sprinkling of salt (on one side only) and then it's just a matter of 90 seconds each side – grilled steak filet to die for. Perhaps a knife point of Dijon mustard on the side of the plate and then tuck in.

I find this so tender and melt in the mouth that I think it criminal to serve with anything extra, just cut off a fork full, pop it in your mouth and close your eyes. Better than …?
