BBQ Grilled Whole Fillet Steak
Ingredients
Preparation
-
Refrigerate your tenderloin.
-
One hour before grilling place it in a cool dry place until it reaches room temperature.
-
Mix the herbs and seasoning together to create a dry rub and rub your meat with it - until it is completely covered in dry rub.
-
<em>Gas Grill: </em>
-
Leave only the primary burner on and place the meat on the cool side of the grate.
-
Insert a meat thermometer into the side so that you can monitor the temperature of the steak.
-
Close the lid and turn occasionally.
-
<em>Charcoal Grill: </em>
-
Allow the coals to heat for about 30 minutes.
-
Then move the coals to one side of the grill.
-
Place your steak (meat thermometer included) onto the cool part of the grate and close the lid.
-
Adjust the air vents and turn occasionally.
-
Grill the fillet for 25 - 30 minutes or until the steak thermometer reads '3 degrees C (or 37 degrees F)' less than the desired temperature.
-
Remove the meat from the grill and create a loose tent using aluminium foil.
-
Cover the meat loosely with this tent and let it stand for 15 minutes.
Impress your friends with a whole tenderloin cooked to perfection. Just ensure that everyone prefers their steaks done the same way.
